- Clinton Vs. Obama, For Those With Short Attention Spans
Entertaining videos for the uninitiated
With the lingering taste of campaign negativity still lodged in voters minds, it’s refreshing to find purely positive portrayals of the two best candidates for the presidency. That said, for those of you who prefer Saturday morning cartoons over a healthy dose of wonky C-SPAN, these videos are for you.

- Ann Coulter: Hillary Clinton is Smarter & Lies Less Than John McCain
“If he’s [McCain] our candidate than Hillary is our girl, Sean”
Think Clinton is unelectable by Republicans? Think again. With this endorsement, she might even best Obama with conservatives.

McCain’s Brain: “What the hell is Giuliani doing?”
Republican Alamo
So what are those wacky Republicans going to say tonight? Though the field has narrowed with the loss of former senator Fred Thompson (not such a loss, really), the drama is still high in the Republican presidential field.
Sen. John McCain continues to assert he’s [...]
