Don’t you just hate when some upstart comes along and threatens your best-laid plans? We were struck by how well one of Reese Witherspoon’s monologues from the film Election fits the narrative of Campaign 2008.

Gawker video guru Richard Blakeley MASHED-UP two of the New York Times’ interactive news maps: one showing the deadly path of Tuesday’s tornadoes, the other showing which Democratic candidates won which states on Super Tuesday. The results: does God hate Hillary? (And note: Obama won Alabama, but Hillary won each county in that state with a recorded death from Tuesday’s storms.)

FunnyorDie.com has put together this little “Super Tuesday” Video to make sure we all know that “We Should Vote.” It was shoot at the 2008 Porn Awards, and features (from what I assume) are popular Porn Stars? Anyhow, needless to say comedy insues!

My favorite line:
“Isn’t there a white black guy running, what is he, cause he’s not American right?”

rock_the_vote.jpgThe last time California played a critical role in the primary season was in 1972, when George McGovern’s 5-point victory over Hubert Humphrey helped solidify the senator’s hold on the Democratic nod. The last time California was critically important on the GOP side was in 1964, when Barry Goldwater squeezed out a narrow victory over Nelson Rockefeller. Goldwater went on to win the Republican nomination.

John Kerry won every county in the 2004 primary. Bill Clinton, former Vice President Al Gore and John Kerry all carried California by solid margins.

While California has a reputation for being heavily Democratic, mainly due to large metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles and San Francisco, the state also has a long history of supporting Republicans, especially for governor. Ronald Reagan became president after he was governor of the state, and Schwarzenegger currently holds the title.

California’s economy is larger than all but four nations, having surpassed France in 2002.

With so many electoral votes at stake, pundits say the state is crucial to picking either party’s nominee for president.

Here a few songs to help you through the voting day:

MP3: The Cure - Primary
MP3: Radiohead - Electioneering
MP3: Ryan Adams - Political Scientist
MP3: Over The Rhine - If A Song Could Be President

barackobama.jpgI don’t want to hear about Kucinich. I don’t want to hear about “unsure.” I don’t want to hear about “neither one.” Edwards is out, it’s now Hillary vs. Obama, and you’re not going to vote for another Republican, so you are going to vote and you are going to pick one or the other. Which one is it? Tell me in the comments section, right below this blog, and let’s see what you kids think…. I’m curious who you pick now.
