Hi, Hell? Is there a snowball down there?

The NYT fronts, and the rest of the papers go inside with, the weekend campaigning by Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton, where Iraq was the central issue. Clinton was questioned about her vote to authorize the war, while Obama said his rivals for the White House should put forward specific plans to get U.S. troops out of Iraq. At one point, Obama said that thousands of lives had been "wasted" on the war but later said he regretted using those words. As could be expected, Obama drew large crowds, but the LAT wasn't impressed saying "there was little that was really new or different" about the issues he raised and he offered "little in the way of concrete solutions."

Two people representing two of America's favorite oppressed groups actually think they have a chance. I mean if either one of them makes it past the primaries, slap me.
