NOT TO BE OUTDONE...

Hillary Clinton's campaign has announced their candidate is coming to southern Oregon! Bill Clinton may be stopping by as well.

There are no details as of yet, and the timing of the announcement is most likely designed to nudge into what has been almost non-stop local coverage of Obama's upcoming visit. But no matter what the reason, it looks like both Democratic candidates will be paying us a visit before the May primaries. This will give us (both in the media and in the general voting public) a valuable chance to compare and contrast Clinton and Obama's message and style.

Meanwhile, anticipation of Obama's visit Saturday morning is running high. I've had tons of people asking me how they can get tickets to the rally, but tickets sold out in a matter of minutes.

This is one of these moments where it's really cool to be a member of the media. I get to go inside. Of course, I'll be working. But it's still pretty cool.
