It is hard to believe that we are less than three weeks away from the 2008 presidential election. Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain participated in the last of the debates for this year’s presidential race. Last night’s debate was Obama’s last chance to convince us even more than he already has that between him and that old dude, he’s the best candidate for the job of running this country. McCain’s old negative and sarcastic ass made himself look like a fool tonight. This whole Obama thing must be really pissing him off! Check out the videos here if you didn’t get a chance to catch it on every major network on television (yeah, there’s almost no excuse for you not to have already seen this).

JOE BIDEN / SARAH PALIN (SNL OPENER)

I called it on Thursday, and Saturday Night Live most definitely clowned Governor Sarah Palin. Follow the break to check out more SNL Sarah Palin parodies! They’re definitely worth watching. Is it ironic that Tina Fey already looks so much like Sarah Palin … without even trying to?!

I’m not sure if you caught last night’s debate, but if you were worried about Barack Obama being our future president, then I’m here to tell you to worry no more! Sarah Palin and Joe Biden faced off in a vice presidential debate last night at St. Louis University, and after watching the debate, I know 2 things: 1.) Sarah Palin doesn’t know what the hell she’s talking about and has horrible public speaking skills, and 2.) come January 20th 2009, we’re going to have a black man in the oval office. ‘Nuff said. Check out videos of the debate here if you weren’t able to last night. Oh yeah, and REGISTER TO VOTE … NOW!

Oh, and one more thing: is it just me or did Sarah tend to go off topic throughout the debate, and it seemed as though she made up for not knowing how to answer the question by “beating around the bush” or just changing the context of the question in her answer.

Boy, oh boy, Saturday Night Live is gonna have a field day with this one!

If that doesn’t inspire you to register to vote, then I don’t know what will!

OBAMA ‘08!

Leading up to the North Carolina and Indiana primaries, three obvious scenarios were discussed by analysts: Obama would win both states, Clinton would take both states, or they would each win one. The latter was thought to be most likely. Well they did each win one state by CNN estimates, but somehow it wasn’t quite that…at least if you were following the results as they came in.

In North Carolina, the polls closed at 7pm, some of the exit poll data was being parsed by analysts, and anchors and reporters were afoot about possible outcomes. Normal fare. Then some 30 minutes after the polls closed with little precinct data: Obama was declared the winner by the networks; the results later giving him a win by 14%. Neat and all wrapped up like a nice chicken burrito.

Indiana was quite a different night. CONTINUE READING

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (CNN) — Sen. Hillary Clinton claimed victory in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, beating out Sen. Barack Obama after a bruising seven-week campaign.”It’s a long road to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and it runs right through the heart of Pennsylvania,” she told supporters in Philadelphia. I’m in this race to fight for you … You know you can count on me to stand up strong for you every single day in the White House.”

Clinton commended Obama and his campaign, saying they are in many ways “on this journey together.” Tuesday’s projected victory follows Clinton’s wins in other big states such as Ohio, New York and California. Her campaign said that should raise new questions about whether Obama, who leads Clinton in the overall Democratic race, can beat presumptive Republican nominee John McCain in November.

“The tide is turning,” Clinton told cheering supporters. Chelsea Clinton’s eyes welled with tears as she watched her mother speak.

With about 99 percent of precincts reporting, Clinton was leading Obama by 10 points. Clinton will pick up a majority of the state’s 158 delegates.
