Erica is a journalism student from California. She tried very hard to get a ticket to Pastor Rick Warren's recent forum with Obama and McCain at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest -- and she felt rather sour when she learned that the seats had sold out at high prices (thanks, ...

DrBombay1559 from the US Virgin Islands wants to start a political blog, and this video is a test run. Don't let the blurry scratchy quality deter you -- his commentary/prediction about VP candidates is interesting. (Hat tip to James Mills.) And just in time, too, because it looks like ...

Ballotvoxregular, former Democratic Senate staffer, and Nevada novelist Jed Lewison adds to the pile of spoofs of Hillary Clinton's 3:00 am ad -- in this case to chide McCain for his lack of web savvy (thanks, Ann Raber):

Obama praised rapper Ludacris as a great talent recently (though he wished he didn't have to worry about his daughters "getting bad images of themselves" should they listen to his music).

While on the topic of negative campaigning, here's another sharp video calling Obama on the way he distorted McCain's willingness to keep Americans in Iraq for 100 years or so.

Alexander Main lives in Germany. He says he put some effort into this creative video to express his feelings of responsibility for "what's happening to our world, to our planet, to all the people who is paying the consequences of our acts." It seems safe to assume he'd like to ...
