So wait... you yanked a good article worth reading and replaced it with what? Coverage of last night's primary?

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

I can't believe you would post something about people making fun of crying people. It just proves you are sexist and Caucasiaphobic. Strength through weakness!

as a junior in college, i'm not ashamed to say i did the same thing. except i had tears well up last night in amazement and hope when hillary won new hampshire.

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...

@3: Interesting, especially since Obama supports repealing DOMA while Clinton only wants to modify it.

hey annie, i agree that it doesn't necessarily "make sense" why i don't support obama. most of the time i just tell people "well he doesn't have enough experience" or something like that, but that really doesn't matter to me.

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?

also, annie, i wanted to say your coverage of obama (assuming you are the stranger annie) and the issues is really good and challenges a lot of what i think, which is hard to come by in a lot of places. keep up the good writing.
