Really, McCain? You’re Going To Play This Song After Your Big Speech? RNC | (6)
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpkitLUbeEg[/youtube] Who's the "Barracuda"?  Is it John?  Is it his captors in Vietnam?  Is it Sarah's husband Todd?  Is it the people that are voting for Obama?  Wolf Blitzer?  The one black dude in the crowd?  I'm super confused.

The County Fair Files Photo, Teach Them Well and They Will Lead the Way | (0)
I would like to get one of those ribbons at the end of every day.  That way I would know that I did it -- that I "participated".  (Photo of a photo taken at the Otsego County Fair ~ August 2008)

My Theory? The Republicans Have a Weather Machine. In The News, RNC | (4)
Everyone agrees that McCain lucked out big time this week with Bush conveniently canceling his appearance at the RNC and heading South.  It's the best thing that could have happened to him and Palin -- heck, the whole Republican party.  But does anyone else find the timing of Gustav, followed by Hanna, followed by Hurricane Ike Turner a little too convenient?  Yeah, me too.  Which is why I'd like to ...

I Take Back What I Said About Cindy’s Arm Brace RNC | (7)
Turns out this was almost the most brilliant press conference bizarre outfit red herring in political history. Eyes on the arm brace...  Keep you eyes here... No! Not on the awkward placement of the baby on the teenager next to me... pink... and electric turquoise...  and tan legs...

Illinois Hugs It Out! DNC | (0)
 Missing your daily fix of Justin Kaufmann?  Well, he's busy breaking the crazy man love stories at the DNC.  Turns out Illinois is also saying "Yes We Can"... when it comes to hugging your biggest political enemy.  Maybe Barack can bring this country together!  If you haven't heard this story, or seen the amazing footage -- check out WBEZ's blog and get Justin and Ben Calhoun's take of the touchy-feely ...

Ineffectual Campaign Commercial of the Day Advertising, Barry Obama | (9)
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NrQ36Djf2E[/youtube] Instead of being a pro-McCain commercial, all I see is an anti-Hillary spot.  Juuuuust in case you thought she might want to run again, here's a reminder of how she couldn't quite pull it off.  And who are these people that are supposedly going to vote for McCain because Hillary didn't get the nomination.  Do they even exist?  If you are one, could you leave a comment here?  Sort of ...
