Presidential Hopefuls Reach a New Low
It's a smackdown! Presidential hopefuls and their antics have been put in their place — the farcical WWE wrestling ring. Throw "Hill-rod" and Obama into the ring and we finally have some real fighting up in here.
Hillary: Make. Your Mascot. Stop.
Homeboy in the blue blazer thinks he's doing Hillary Clinton some kind of service by taking center stage and busting his most badass, J Lo-infused rhyme for a group of supporters. I don't think this is exactly helping Hillary get the youth vote. In this popularity contest we call politics, we are the company we keep, and Hillary needs a new crowd — the Mean Girls maybe?
Ditch the Debates, Vote Hector '08!
Political tensions are running high these days and everyone's playing the finger pointing game, but — can't we all just chill on the presidential front? Enter Hector. He's the new, nonpartisan candidate to enter the race.
Obama Is No Stranger to Change
It's no secret that "change" is the buzzword of this presidential race. We've heard time and time again: the Dems are all about it. But who promises to be the biggest breath of fresh "change" out there?
The Daily Show Reports: The Douche Vote
The term "douchebag" has not only sleazed its way into mainstream pop-culture speak, but has also become the focal point of the highly scientific study of doucheology. And now, we're seeing the inevitable emergence of the douche-factor in politics. What is a DB politician to do when his DB voter base is too busy spritzing the fourth round of body spray to get to the damn polls in time to vote?
Ralph Wiggum for Prez
Forget all this caucus mumbo jumbo, I already know who I'm voting for this election. He's bipartisan, wears a tie everyday, and despite his youth, is already at a loss for hair. If these qualities don't denote maturity and prudence, then.
Dumbass of the Day
All party affiliations aside, we have to give Hill some credit for taking the reins, challenging gender norms, and acting on her presidential itch. Along the campaign trail, Clinton must face the "remnants" of sexism on a daily basis, as demonstrated by the spectacle below. If this dumbass dude wanted to play hardball, he'd engage in serious debate.

Presidential Election Mailers Can Get Ugly
Messages based on fear have been getting out via mailers lately. The Republican Party of Virginia has sent out an ad that says "American must look evil in the eye and never flinch." It features an almost unrecognizable picture of Osama bin Laden, in which the skin is darker, the beard lighter, and the nose covered by words.
Obama Refuses Public Financing. What Does This Mean?
I might be a special brand of crazy, but when I woke up to this news this morning, I started hyperventilating: Obama is not accepting public financing.
In shunning each tax-payer's $3 contribution we kick in when we pay our taxes, Obama is the first candidate to do so since Congress passed 1970s campaign finance laws after Watergate in the 1970s. McCain, the Republican nominee in waiting, has already taken steps to accept the public funds in the general election — matching funds that put a cap on how much each candidate can spend.
Gordon Brown Gets in Trouble For Praising Barack Obama
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown seemed to break with tradition by writing an effective endorsement of Barack Obama for US President, or at least his housing policies. In an opinion piece, published on Monday in the Parliamentary Monitor magazine, Brown writes: Around the world, it is progressive politicians who are grappling with these challenges. In the electrifying US Presidential campaign, it is the Democrats who are generating the ideas to help people through more difficult times.
