Super Tuesday
Coming Soon: More Chances To Feel Bad About Finding Debates Boring
wait, where does Hillary stand on health care?

So Super Tuesday didn't solve shit. Barack Obama came out with 13 more delegates, but the primary race goes on. And on.

Hoping to gain a lead, and forgetting about the power of the audacity of hope, Hillary Clinton has called for more debates. Her team wants a debate every week from now until March 4. Even with the writers strike, two like minded politicians arguing over the small points they differ on isn't exactly entertainment.

Most desperate of all, Hillary Clinton has agreed to a debate on "fair and balanced" Fox News for February 11.

Seriously, this chick will put out for anyone. What? We would say the same thing about a man.

THANKS FOR THE GO A-HEAD Hey, journalists. If you didn't vote yesterday because you felt it breached some ethical code, you're a fool. Because a day after the advice would have been useful, Jon Friedman says voting is allowed. "Of course, you should feel free to vote. You're American citizens (I presume) and this is one of our rights." We voted yesterday, and after reading Jon Friedman's column, we've never felt more validated. [MarketWatch]

OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER Hey undecided voters, what's going on? Just basking in the attention of the presidential hopefuls? Yeah, that's chill. Enjoy it. But before you head to the polls, check out Stereohyped and Queerty's write-up of all the candidates. Where 25 months of campaigning failed, these rundowns will succeed.

Hillary Seeks Empathy, Votes from Women
because she's a woman, too!

Did you know that Hillary Clinton wants to be the first female president? That’s right, Hillary Clinton is a woman, not a man, and if you have two X chromosomes, you should consider voting for her. Not just because she’s also a woman, but because she understands what it’s like to be a woman.

But this isn’t a race about firsts. Don’t go there, Barack. Seriously. This is a race of who is the most qualified to lead this great nation. Hillary Clinton can bring her experience of reaching across the aisle and of having her uterine lining shed to the White House. Are there any greater qualifications?

To make sure that women everywhere know that Hillary Clinton, a woman, is running for president, she has bought an hour of programming on the Hallmark Channel on the eve of Super Tuesday for an estimated $500,000. While Hallmark isn’t Lifetime or even Oxygen, the last time a man watched the Hallmark channel was during the great Where is The Remote? crisis of '06.

This will give Hillary a chance to reach out to other female voters, who should know that Hillary cares about such pressing economic issues like that the Victoria Secret sale only occurs twice a year.

And by the way Barack, don’t take this idea to BET. This isn’t a contest about race or gender.

Much Like Your Holiday Call To Grandma, Ron Paul Is Phoning It In
call it a day

Running for president is exhausting, and Ron Paul is ready for his nap. But the libertarian candidate is sticking out until Super Tuesday, if only because he has to:

"Nobody would understand if I faded out before Feb. 5," he told the AP yesterday.

Ok, so his insane supporters would be disappointed if he quits before Super Tuesday, but we would understand. Why maintain the pretense of a candidacy?
