Barack Obama
Our next president? Too early to tell, but we’re keeping track just in case. If the electoral college counted web buzz instead of votes, Obama would win in a landslide.
The Best Buzz

Obama Vs. the Bible
Politics Buzz PH For America want to be the Swift Boaters of 2008. The 527 organization's TV ad "Sermon on the Mount" got 2 million views on YouTube since June 25. The ad, which the group says will also appear on TV after the Democratic National Convention, features Obama demonstrating why not every verse of scripture can be used in American government. The narrator charges Obama with mocking the Bible. So wait, PHFA supports stoning disobedient children?

Yes. Yes, it's a coincidence. So now we've solved THAT.
-
Joss Stone For Obama
Politics Buzz The Democratic nominee personally asked the British pop singer to write a song to be used on the campaign trail later this year. May we suggest Joss avoid asking Ludacris to do a cameo? He may have good intentions, but even Barack knows the guy can go a little overboard.

Joe Biden Is Your New VP
Politics Buzz Barack Obama named Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware as his vice presidential running mate early this morning. Will having an old white guy on the ticket help him reel in the votes from closeted racist white voters?
-
“Racist” Joe Biden Perfect For Obama?
Politics Buzz Is "racist" Joe Biden the perfect compliment for the first black Presidential nominee? Obama is on the verge of announcing his running mate. Picking Biden would show that Obama is not all uptight and politically correct. I mean, how could white voters resist supporting a black candidate who laughs at racist jokes? It is the best of both worlds!

How to Fake Texts From Obama
Politics Buzz Obama supporters sign up to get a text from the campaign when he picks a VP. Someone finds a way to spoof texts from the campaign. Hilarity ensues. One poor bastard thought the Obama campaign actually wrote this: "DUDE, IT’S OBAMA HERE, I CHOO CHOO CHOOSE YOU TO BE MY VP, DAWG."
-
Caroline Kennedy
Politics Buzz Michael Moore wants Caroline Kennedy for Barack's VP choice, and thinks there's a chance she could nominate herself. One...last...Vice Presidential speculation as we stand by our cellphones awaiting that fateful text....

Obama’s Running Mate
Politics Buzz Drudge thinks the announcement will come tomorrow morning; time to check the tea leaves. Drudge says the New York Times is ready to run with the story as early as tomorrow, though others think he's way off.

Obama Wins Twitter
Politics Buzz He's now the most-followed on Twitter. John McCain, meanwhile, doesn't seem to have a Twitter account, but he is winning the YouTube wars.

There's no terrorist fist pound here, just a sucker punch.

Mr. Belding For Vice President
Politics Buzz We can all dream, but one blogger actually did, imagining actor Dennis Haskins (best known for his stint as the kooky principal on Saved By The Bell's Bayside High) as Obama's running mate. Weirdly enough, I just woke up from a nightmare in which Jenna Von Oy was the leader of the Third Reich. Creepy.
-
Barack Roll
Tech Buzz Obama gets the Rick Roll treatment. And, really, isn't it about time we get someone in the White House who can actually dance?
-
McCain Calls Obama The Antichrist
Politics Buzz You know how politicians speak in code that only the base will understand? Well I grew up Pentacostal and I'm pretty sure McCain just called Obama the Antichrist. So does a group of Democratic consultants, who argue that a seemingly innocent McCain ad mocking Obamamania actually implies that the Democratic candidate is the great deceiver prophesied in the Biblical book of Revelation. The neat trick is that this accusation turns all Obama's strengths into weaknesses. Great speaker? So is the Antichrist. Seems like he'll bring world peace? So will the Antichrist. Doesn't buy $500 shoes? Oh, there's probably a verse about that.
-
Obama Porn
Politics Buzz A safe-for-work gallery of America's prettiest Presidential candidate. Is it because all the best designers and photographers are change-loving liberals? Or because he's the Antichrist? Either way, Barack Obama has replaced Steve Jobs as the President Of Pretty.
-
Kathy Hilton Vs. John McCain
Politics Buzz Paris Hilton's mom thinks it's "a waste of time" that a John McCain ad includes images of her daughter as a way to slam Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's "celebrity status." Do we foresee a new political roundtable show featuring Mrs. H. as political moderator? Sure, it would be fun to watch, but nothing compares to The McLaughlin Group.
-
Ludacris Raps For Obama
Politics Buzz Ludacris has come out with a freestyle in support of Barack Obama, but the song isn't enjoying a glowing endorsement from the Obama camp. I guess lyrics like "that bitch is irrelevant" don't support "change we can believe in" after all.
-
BarackBook
Politics Buzz The Republican National Committee has launched BarackBook a Facebook parody intended to draw attention to some of Obama's lesser known political associations. His current status: "Barack is hoping to settle on an Iraq policy before November." I say so what if Marilyn Katz sent him flair? At least he beat William Ayersat Scrabulous.
-

The Israeli paper Maariv publishes the prayer note Barack Obama left at Jerusalem's Western Wall.
-
Obama’s Berlin Speech
Politics Buzz Barack Obama addresses a crowd of 200,000 in Germany's capital. The moment was the high water mark of his European tour, and sounded like the ambitious, inclusive foreign policy speech many Europeans (and Americans) have been hoping for.
