crappy hour
In this Newsweek video, Dr. Susan Wood, the former director of the FDA's Office of Women's Health, comes out for Hillary Clinton. Against an odd background of porny-sounding music, Wood explains how much Hillary did to help Plan B become legal in the United States. "Emergency contraception would not be available without Hillary Clinton," Wood says. Although Wood has come out for Clinton, lots of feminists are still tussling over Hillary vs. Barack. Minnesotan Kim Goodwin invited seven friends to her house to discuss the candidates. Republican Therese Liffrig said of Hillary, "No, I wouldn't vote for her...But if she won, I'd be happy about it," while Barack supporter Stephanie Forsland said, "She just came across as a little bit too slick of a politician." Can't wait to see how it all turns out in Texas and Ohio tonight! [Newsweek, Salon, NPR]

- If you're in New Hampshire and reading this, here's who Karl Lagerfeld thinks you should vote for tonight: "My favorite is Ms. Clinton because you have no real idea what she is wearing.

But there is never a gimmick or bad detail either." If an endorsement from Krazy Karl isn't the kiss of death, we don't know what is. [WWD, sub req'd]
