Welcome to Super Tuesday - Avoiding the Spin and Sniping at Hilary Clinton

John Nichols has The Online Beat Blog at The Nation. Read his Ten Tips for Sorting Out Super Tuesday Spin. They are all good suggestions. (I suspect the commentators and pundits will be reading the exit polls like augurs watching birds. I know I will be paying attention tonight on MSNBC.)

Meanwhile, The Washington Post and The New York Times have already been out about Clinton and Obama. Richard Cohen thinks Obama has his faults but is a better choice than Clinton. E. J. Dionne Jr.writes a piece that makes Obama seem a bit of a Moses leading the Democrats out of the wilderness or is he writing that we want to a Moses? Eugene Robinson writes that Bill Clinton is just too much baggage for Hilary. Frank Rich parses the JFK comparisons and writes what amounts to a very strong piece for Obama. Paul Krugman tears into Obama's healthcare plan and finds it wanting. The New York Times does have campaign reports on the big four. I only saw Howard Kurtz in The Post writing on McCain and then only sort of: Limbaugh on McCain: It's Better to Be Right All the Time.
