Slog - Comments on Obama Youth Continued http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/01/obama_youth_continued Given last night's news, which was breaking as we were going to press, we decided to yank a story by Sarah Mirk about the Obama youth vote in Iowa. Mirk, a former news intern, is a youth. Caucused in Iowa. And she's pals with Alec Schierenbeck. Schierenbeck is the President of the Iowa College Democrats and the face of the youth movement—at least according to the NYT last Thursday night.

Coverage of last night's primary?

That article was good reading... why did you decide to yank it?

It just proves you are sexist and Caucasiaphobic. Strength through weakness!

speaking of which, can the stranger look into young, LGBT support of hillary clinton? as a young gay man, most of my straight friends support obama, but an overwhelming majority of my gay and lesbian friends support clinton. could be an interesting story...

i read this op article a couple days ago by gloria steinem in the NYT which really crystallized a lot of what i've been thinking. if obama is the nominee, i will still campaign for him, just like i did in 2004 (before i could even vote) after dean lost, but aren't primaries really about who you truly want to be president?
