Slog - Comments on Barack, Michelle, and Bill in Washington http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/02/barack_michelle_and_bill I've added this to my Hello Washington post below, but for those who aren't into scrolling: It looks like Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, and Bill Clinton will all be in Washington State this week. Obama's public schedule has him holding private events (read: fundraisers) in Seattle on Friday. And this report has Bill and Michelle holding public events in Spokane on the same day.

She has had 24 hours plus now to think about it.

I can't find it on his disaster of a website. I can find the events calendar, which pops up a charming inch-square map of every sorority-girl get-together, but I can't find an actual LIST, that a person could READ, of what he's doing and where.

that sure doesn't sound like WA, and i saw where obama is +22 here... and we're going to prove it Saturday!

Remember, Obama got more votes and more delegates on Super Tuesday.

And now it's Caucus Time!

PLEASE post when and where one can go listen to Barack (Seattle) and Michelle (Spokane). This former Seattleite is driving up for the event. (I miss you guys!)
By the way, would you agree that Barack is an antidepressant for this country on two legs?
