You know, i could use some hot doggery in my life, famous or not

not a bad slogan

Come to think of it, I've never had a NY hot dog. I just always assumed this was one of the many food areas that Chicago surpassed it. Is it like a Coney Island or something?

one of the many food the only area that Chicago surpassed it.

chicago is known for its bagels, right

cant forget that ol perennial fave the windy city cheesecake

this is basically my stock in trade, YAY

In an e-mail message sent over the weekend to The Los Angeles Times, Mark Penn, Mrs. Clinton’s pollster, appeared to be distancing himself from the campaign’s operations when he said he had “no direct authority in the campaign.” Mr. Penn described himself as merely “an outside message adviser with no campaign staff reporting to me.”

Mr. Penn is a longtime friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton and serves — as he invariably describes himself — as the campaign’s chief strategist. This means he is involved in directing the message presented by Mrs. Clinton in her speeches and campaign advertisements, and the overall strategic thrusts of the campaign. He has also often served as the voice of the campaign — appearing on television and giving interviews pressing Mrs. Clinton’s cause.

One worker was pulled along by the crowd and ended up shaking Mrs. Clinton’s hand. “Aw, man,” he said. “Now I have to go home and wash my hands.”

that's a fuckin' bitmap, mate...

in other news, i found this whilst trolling around for batshit toons to post:

If principles matter, so does McCain

...Recently, some conservatives behave as if they have nothing to lose if McCain loses. But a McCain loss equals a Barack Obama win, and we have plenty lose from that...

Yer fookin' right about that, Chester, and I sincerely plan to spend the rest of my energies this year helping that to come about....

"Hillary Rodham Clinton steeled herself for a day of political reckoning, defiantly telling reporters yesterday that her campaign is "just warming up" - and suggesting she'll battle on regardless of today's results in Texas and Ohio."

nice

i mailed my ohio absentee ballot last week

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/03/AR2008030302769.html

note how on page one it is about obama dodging questions (and note, btw, that he gets blasted for being dull and too wonky!), and then page two it prints his answers, which sound pretty damn forthright.

I have a feeling Clinton is going to do well enough today to soldier on.

^^^mark halperin has a big portion of that press conference up, he sounds entirely reasonable in it. that piece is a really weird interpretation of what happened. i think even daria would agree w/ that

shes done a good job in the past 48 hrs of making it seem that way

the storyline has definitely changed. if obama loses anything tonight (and he will likely lose ohio), then hillary is the comeback kid again, and obama becomes someone who "can't close the deal," which penn/ickes/etc will hammer at from now until the convention, and use it as a wedge to argue for the clinton campaign's continued campaign.

xxxpost - obama's had a rough week in the press -- the canadian NAFTA story, the rezko trial, the fact that clinton's pretty much been dominating the media narrative for the past week w/ all the kitchen sink attacks, and even the farrakhan crap got some attention.

but perhaps most of all is clinton's "media-is-against-us narrative", which has gotten a lot of attention and has even resulted in a lot more scrutiny on obama, i think. pretty much all of the polls taken in the past day or two show upward movement for hillary. i'll be very curious to see how all this plays out tonight. i'm definitely nervous.

god dana milbank is a tool.

I really wish the press wasn't so goddamned self-loathing sometimes.

Since neither can get an overwhelming delegate lead, it's all about perception now isn't it? If Clinton has successfully lowered expectations so that people feel she has a right to soldier on even if she only wins Ohio, then she's halfway there.

the rezko trial has nothing to do w/ him
