This takes citizen ads to a whole new level. It includes tap dancing, dogs in t-shirts, and dizzying costume changes -- all supported by a very(!) enthusiastic original song (thanks, Sue Salinger):

It seems that a Clinton victory in West Virginia today may be a foregone conclusion. In a completely unscientific survey, there are certainly more Hillary signs than Obama signs in this picture from Shepherdstown, WV, taken by Marylander Pang Tubhirun (hat tip to Misa Dayson):

Barack Obama has quite a worldwide following. He's got vocal supporters as far away as Gaza City and as close as Canada. From our northern neighbors, first a serious comment: these young Canadians say Obama's appeal is all about international relations:
And next something silly: this old-timey song pays tribute with ...

Hillary Clinton won the Indiana primary yesterday, but her margin of victory was small, and her defeat in North Carolina was quite sound. So with things not looking as rosy for her campaign as they might, how does she feel this morning? Is she flagging (thanks, James Mills)?:

Democrats in Indiana and North Carolina voted today after days of rallies and knocking on doors. (Republicans voted, too, but...) These two pictures are from the last couple of weeks on the campaign trail. In Indianapolis, Brian Bruner captured what may be the best Hillary hat of the entire election ...

John McCain recently took an "It's Time for Action Tour" of "forgotten places" where Americans have been left behind. Last week, after visiting the Lower 9th Ward in New Orleans, he headed to Baton Rouge, where supporters waited calmly in line at the airport to see him. Paul Dietzel II, ...

John McCain may be the presumptive Republican nominee, but Ron Paul is still running, and many of his supporters remain dedicated. Also, apparently, very happy. This cheerful Nebraskan was captured on the streets of Lincoln by Bertrand, a half-French, half-Chilean Parisian (thanks, Ann Raber):

Next up for the Democrats: Indiana and North Carolina on May 6th.
Litandmore -- Chicagoan, teacher, and library student -- has attended a bunch of Hillary rallies and appears to be fired up to take the fight to Indiana. Here he is on his way there before Clinton even won in ...

Misa Dayson found this one. It was taken in Pennsylvania and features the "Chappaqua chapter of Women for Obama." In other words: Hillary Clinton's Democratic neighbors who aren't voting for her.

Hopefully these women won't need to ring the Clintons' doorbell any time soon in search of eggs ...

Three days ago, at a Drexel University rally in Pennsylvania, Hillary Clinton got asked on a date. To a prom. Apparently she politely responded that it might be a little tough to coordinate with her campaign schedule. (Via Ann Raber.)

The Pennsylvania Democratic primary polls show Clinton still in the lead, despite a narrowing gap. But Earl Pickens (from Lewisburg, PA) and The Band Named Thunder think otherwise. They're so sure Obama's going to win everywhere in Pennsylvania they had to sing about it. Notice how they work in "Yes ...
