Listen Up, CW Fans: There's News for the Few of You

"It is pretty pathetic," she said, smiling into the camera.

Wasting no time, Stewart got down to the Big Issue: Is Barack Obama being lobbed softball questions by a smitten press? It was the theme of Clinton's campaign appearance over the weekend on NBC's "Saturday Night Live," which had opened with a sketch re-creating one such debate -- on NBC's own MSNBC, naturally. Synergy is a wonderful thing.

"A lot has been made recently about the media's role in this, that they've been a little soft on Barack Obama. Apparently there was a skit on 'SNL' you participated in," Stewart sniffed. "Do you think if you had been the one that had had the kind of run he's had, the victories . . . would you be asking for him to get out?"

"Well, those are a lot of questions, Jon," Clinton chided.

"I think what we're going to find out tomorrow is we're still in a very close contest in terms of the popular vote and the number of delegates," she said, noting that her husband didn't wrap up the nomination until June.

Another thing we learned from Stewart's interview: Clinton loves Texas and Ohio.

"My first job in politics was in Texas . . . helping register voters," she said.

"And Ohio is real salt of the earth," she added, noting that yesterday morning she went to the 5:30 a.m. shift change at one of the big plants in Toledo.
