Dave Barry for President

We've added a new feature to myrtlebeachonline.com which I encourage you to check out - news.mcclatchy.com. It is produced by the McClatchy Co. Washington bureau and includes national and international news updates, some of the most poignant and insightful blogs you'll find written by the bureau's national and international reporters and the best of political cartoons from our 31 newspapers. It also features video produced by the bureau staff and coming soon will be a feature on which readers can post their own videos.

The bureau staff will be especially focused on the race to the White House as we head deeper into the active political season. An added feature to the site is the return of Dave Barry who says he is running for president in 2008 and is answering reader questions as the campaign season proceeds. Barry's column used to appear each Sunday in The Sun News until he retired from regular columnizing. At least for this political season, he's back. Here's a taste:

Q: Dave, Since you've been running for President (unsuccesfully) since the Truman administration, what is it about 2008 that's different? Or is this going to be yet another heart-breaking, gut-wrenching disappointment to your loyal supporters?

A: I believe that, with every passing day, and every new candidate announcement, my campaign appears, relatively speaking, to be less and less of a joke.

Dave Barry 6/21/07

The Sun News is one of McClatchy's 31 newspapers and regularly publishes the work of the bureau journalists as well as coverage from our South Carolina reporter, Jim Rosen, who is based in the bureau.

Where's the link to this new feature? I don't see it on the front page anywhere. Am I blind?
