Hard call, but I think an occasional story related to politics may be ok if it is about some kind of major event that transcends politics-- just as a story about technology might occasionally appear in a magazine about politics if it is an important enough story.

But let's remember that Obama hasn't won anything. It's important when the US elects a president, or one dies, etc.

Obama winning a primary is only important (outside of political circles) if a plane doesn't crash on the same day.

I think every non-hacker story should be evaluated by the "plane crash beating" quality. :-)

I really don't care for news about crashing planes, unless they crash on my city. I hope to never read a plane crashing story on news.yc (which also implies I hope that there will never crash a plane on my city).
