Slog - Comments on In Other News http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/01/in_other_news_4 There are Democratic presidential candidates other than Barack Obama.

You mention Barack Obama by name, and you left out "Sen." And you also use facts to make your point.
This is disrespectful. Please tell the others at your klavern meetings to chill. We are for unity, you damnable racist.

I'm sure the Clinton supporters will brag about her huge Florida win tomorrow. And the Obama and Edwards supporters will be dismayed. At this point, the Clinton supporters should be comforted by the fact that she has HUGE leads in the polls of the large states. So, I'm not sure why they are so angry these days. Everyone should calm down.

Overwhelming victory in South Carolina, endorsements from key members of the Kennedy family, Toni Morrison...c'mon, these are significant news items that people are interested in reading.

It's as if they just can't stand that Sen Obama is doing so well, they have to channel Traitor Novak's position on it that he got from Traitor Rove.

In two weeks, when Hillary racks up enough delegates that she can clinch the nomination with the delegates you'll goad from your local caucus, you can gloat all you want.

Meanwhile, let's just enjoy there actually be races in BOTH parties for the first time in our lifetimes.

Sorry, the big news today is Obama news. Sorry, the big winner this weekend was Obama. Trust me, Hillary got more than enough coverage after New Hampshire. I'm sorry you candidate isn't getting the coverage you want - but do you really have to whine about it this much? It becomes more and more obviously why you support Hillary every day.

Yes, I suppose you can try to write some post about some minor, meaningless policy nuance, as you've tried to do-- "Barack Obama sort of supports clean coal; Clinton sometimes kinda doesn't support it as much"-- but the only other thing to focus on from the Clinton campaign now is sleaze, sleaze and more Karl Rove-style sleaze. What if after SC Obama had called Clinton another Geraldine Ferraro? What would you be saying then? Face it, your candidate is nothing but a juicy basket of sleaze. Enjoy the McCain (or God forbid Romney) presidency.

Chill out, Erica. If you want to bitch about Obama getting most the lip service in the day, then 1) share some ACTUAL news about Clinton with us, and 2) FIND some actual news.

Looking forward to Wednesday's announcement.
