The media are telling us that Hillary is the underdog theses days and...anyone with half a brain should realize her last name is Clinton.
Regardless...she needs to do something to get the spotlight. So I wonder, what would happen if she took an absolutely unprecedented stand and named a running mate right now?
Your thoughts?

Chelsea Clinton...
I found MSNBC’s David Shuster’s remarks about Chelsea Clinton inappropriate to comment on, but absolutely unacceptable for a journalist to say. To give his own personal opinion, is not the role of a true journalist. I find this offensive and embarrassing for journalists everywhere.
Having said that, I thing the

Another speech-to-song
Someone posted a parody of that Will.i.am/Obama video using a McCain speech.

McCain sure does love war. You'd think he'd have gotten tired of it when he was a prisoner of war that one time.

Bite This
A study by Eric Bucy found that the 2004 election brought more candidate "image bites" than sound bites to televised newscasts. An image bite is when a candidate's image is seen, but they aren't heard from. More VOs than SOTs.
To me, it's an understandable conclusion. The story count for television news is up while the newscasts alloted time has stayed the same.
Now in 2008 the use of the internet for news coverage is commonplace. I am guessing that if you were to compare sound bites and image bites on the internet the results would be much different than traditional television news. You just might find more sound bites on the web than image bites.
The constraints of a televised newscast are no longer dictated by the clock.
Not only can we get more news, but we can get the news we want.

Today's Primary
So how many names can our
1. Best Political Team On TV (CNN)
2. Best Political Team In the Business (MSNBC)
3. Best Political Team Ever (F-word news)
4. Most Tired Political Team (Jim Lehrer)
...fabulous news teams come up for Tuesday's primary?
It seems many have settled on the Chesapeake Primary, but I'm still hearing: The Beltway Primary, The Potomac Primary, The Layercake Primary, etc. Have you heard any others?
So Obama sweeps the weekend primaries with the only surprise being Maine. Hillary had a fair amount of organization there and she's already won some neighboring states. So what's going to happen today? Polls have Obama up in all of them but I highly doubt he can pull of VA. Maryland and DC are easy...he's got a huge following in Baltimore.
Results come in at 7/8 so keep an eye.
