More Negative Campaigning

By Jeralyn

Barack Obama blasts Bill Clinton on Good Morning America today.

And a weeks-old story about Oprah's viewers calling her a traitor on her website, possibly prompting her not to make additional appearances for Obama since her foray into Iowa and South Carolina, makes the TimesOnLine. The headline, "Women turn on ‘traitor’ Oprah Winfrey for backing Barack Obama".

It's going to be an ugly week. It's all going to be about race with supporters of the two campaigns calling each other out on this or that perceived insult.

The battle for South Carolina, as opposed to the primary itself, holds little interest for me compared to the states voting on Tsunami Tuesday, February 5. So, after tonight's debate which I will live-blog, unless there's something really newsworthy, I'm going back to crime and injustice coverage until Thursday or Friday when I'll return to cover the final predictions and results for South Carolina. The Bush Administration has gotten a free ride here since Iowa -- it's time to get back on its case for a while.

Of course, Big Tent Democrat will cover South Carolina and other campaign news as he sees fit. Keep in mind, we tend to write a lot here, up to 15 posts a day. Sometimes you have to scroll down all the way down the front page just to see what one of us or TChris, who is still with us, wrote hours before.
