Okay, so what is this dustup between Obama and Hillary this weekend
that the media is trying to gin up? Our satellite has been going out for long periods of time with this storm. MSNBC is reporting that Obama and Hillary are both speaking this weekend and Hillary is bringing Bill with her as an accessory of some sort so that there can be dueling speeches over the black vote. Now where is this and what is the occasion?

Please someone....I beg you...borrow some snow from us....

1. Showdown in Selma (ABC News)
Showdown in Selma
Clinton and Obama Will Both Walk in the Historic Voting-Rights March

March 2, 2007 — There's a new sort of showdown in Selma — of the political variety.

Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton are coming to town to commemorate the legendary and bloody demand for voting rights.

Clinton and Obama will participate in a historic reenactment of the Voting Rights March that took place in Selma, Ala., on March 7, 1965, when 600 civil rights workers were violently attacked during a peaceful march for voting rights.

The two political heavyweights, vying for the Democratic nomination for the presidency, will be speaking at historic churches blocks from each other — and at the same time. They will also march in the same parade.

"Well, this wasn't something I anticipated, when we originally accepted the invitation. One thing I don't want to do is diminish the importance of the event, the sanctity of the event with a lot of political posturing and presidential politics," Obama told ABC News' Claire Shipman.
