We (finally) have presumptive nominees, and now the nominees have some decisions to make. Predict your VP pony:
The upside to a McCain reign? Four more years of hilariously flubbed speeches, uncomfortable pauses and general disinformation.

Tomorrow: The Final Frontier. Did you ever think we'd make it all the way to Montana & South Dakota?
One of these guys is a lot like the other — take the
Bush/McCain Challenge
and find out how.
Hey, we can't all be winners.
Hillary might not be willing to admit it, but we are: Obama's the nominee. What are his chances against McCain?
Oh, the humanity: LSD, the Golden Gate Bridge, chocolate chip cookies and the Hindenburg fiasco are all younger
than John McCain — and that's just the tip of the ancient iceberg.
He's Nat Swope, and he approved

Hillary Clinton: We know by now that she'll never surrender. But why?

Nikki McClure paired up to produce this
poster, then made it free for
the asking. (After all, it ain't over 'til it's over, and it's not November
yet...)
The nicest guy in Hollywood wrote, shot and uploaded this video to his MySpace
page, because that's just the kind of nice guy he is. Check out his election-season endorsement (and speechwriting skills) after the click.
The thing about voting is that it's not like giving blood (even though Democrats everywhere are probably feeling pretty drained)
— nobody gives you a cupcake, a juice box or even a lousy sticker when it's all over... except for us. Check out these
(awesome, if we do say so) sticker graphics created by our designers in support of
Super Tuesday — we gave 'em out in
stores to a bunch of lucky shoppers.
It may all end tomorrow, or it could go on forever. One thing's for sure — sooner or later, somebody's got to concede. What's it going to be then?
Obama art: the phenomenon that couldn't quit.
Can we say the same for the candidate in question? Only upcoming Tuesdays
will tell.
Hillary Clinton, slumming it on the campaign trail –
because nobody can call you an elitist when you're swilling gas station coffee.
North Carolina is the new Pennsylvania. Pick your prediction:
They say that truth is stranger than fiction, and whoever they are, they're right. Be warned: this video's a painful sight no matter who you're backing.
Nothing we can say here will top the huh?/ha! factor of this video. Get clicking.
It takes all kinds: Twisted Sister guitarist
Jay Jay French re-recorded the band's 1984 classic "I Wanna Rock"
in support of Barack Obama. Frontman Dee Snider? He's backing McCain.
We know, we know. Making choices is hard, especially if you're a Democrat. But see what happens when you hybridize?
Let's hope we have a winner soon, before Howard Dean
gets any ideas. (Ad courtesy of the Hogeschool-Universiteit Brussel, a place where marketing geniuses wield serious
Photoshop skills and a sense of humor to match, apparently.)
Who needs superdelegates! They say you're the company you keep, and that even when dealing in evils, there's usually a lesser demon. Given those facts, which celebrity supporter would win in the following race:
32 Votes
Tina Fey for Hillary Clinton - 31.3%
Lauren Conrad for John McCain - 3.1%
Scarlett Johansson for Barack Obama - 62.5%

fried chicken
does the voting for you and liking Led Zeppelin
means way more than you expected. Paging Big Brother...
We interrupt the Democratic bickering to bring you The Other Guy – remember him? With thanks (we think) to Dickipedia:
here's everything you never wanted to know about John McCain.
And now, for a completely different kind of bitter:
Hillary Clinton, Pennsylvania's newly-minted primary winner just so happens to be a serious sipper when it comes to the Crown Royal.
Yes, we said sipper. Don't let the shot glass fool you.
Remember: no matter what happens today,
there's always another option.
(Just don't forget to bring your pen to the polling place!)
Tensions are high, with Pennsylvania's delegates being anybody's to lose. What are you more worried about?

Barack's baggage over that bitterness bit. - 39.8%
Hillary's imaginary sniper incident. - 38.2%
Tomorrow's primary being postponed. Because the waiting? It's the hardest part. - 20.9%
The world will never run out of ways to re-use Barack Obama's name.
Ever. Not going to happen. You can trust us on this one.
She wants what she wants. And "No" isn't really the sort of answer she's interested in.
Yes, Virginia – it can get much crazier than this, and here's the proof:
Hunter S. Thompson's classic dispatch,
covering divided party lines and general mayhem during the course of the '72 presidential campaign.
Read it and weep, then check out some Gonzo-related memorabilia.
Download, print, cut and fold. Now if only choosing a Democratic candidate were this easy ...
(Confidential to the DNC: get it together or with this much time to plan, Jeb's going to find a way
to sabotage the whole scene. Seriously, is it April 22nd yet?)
Term limits? Where we're going we don't need any term limits. Pretend for a moment that all bets are off and you can vote for any past US President. Who would you pick in the following race:
449 Votes
Jimmy "Peanuts" Carter - 24.9%
Bill "Oh no I didn't" Clinton - 63.5%
Richard "Checkers" Nixon - 11.6%
Their money, whose mouth? Search family, friends, celebrities and co-workers to see where their political paper trail leads.
