Ok..so John McCain in an ad compares Obama to Paris Hilton. What is Paris Hilton's most significant contribution to Pop Culture? Asked another way, what is she most famous for??

Answer: SHE MADE A SEX TAPE (Actually, several of them)

So, what if Obama responds to this ad like this....

Watching fox news sunday (dont ask why) but Karl Rove just cited the fivethirtyeight.com consensus poll showing Obama w a 2 pt overall lead!

In case you missed it, it was reported in the Chicago Sun-times today by Bill Zwecker that several music heavyweights have collaborated on a new music video project to promote the Obama Candidacy. The video is expected to hit the web and other outlets in 10 days or less, and includes contributions from the likes of Dave Stewart, Bono, Dr. Dre and Beyonce.

The black-and-white video includes a wide range of people singing the song -- both celebrities and regular Obama supporters. It's an inspirational kind of musical expression that conveys an upbeat, positive tone reminiscent of earlier projects like the 1985 ''We Are the World'' music video, which raised funds for famine relief in Africa.

The Bulls just won the NBA Draft Lottery!

The Cubs Are In First Place!!

And Of Course Obama is gona be President!!!

From the Huffington Post:

Host Chris Matthews pressed McCain on the issue. "You've heard the ideological argument to keep U.S. forces in the Middle East. I've heard it from the hawks. They say, keep United States military presence in the Middle East, like we have with the 7th Fleet in Asia. We have the German...the South Korean component. Do you think we could get along without it?"

McCain held fast, rejecting the very policy he urges today. "I not only think we could get along without it, but I think one of our big problems has been the fact that many Iraqis resent American military presence," he responded. "And I don't pretend to know exactly Iraqi public opinion. But as soon as we can reduce our visibility as much as possible, the better I think it is going to be."

In a poll released today D-Bill Foster is an a statistical tie with R-challenger Jim Oberweis in the ruby red 14th district of Illinois. Oberweis is a far-right radical and would be a rubber stamp for Bush.

The telephone survey of 525 "likely voters," conducted in the five days after the Feb. 5 dual congressional primaries, showed Republican Oberweis leading 45 percent to Foster's 43 percent.

Foster's camp finds significance not in the margin, but in the bigger picture.

"This is kind of an earthquake," Foster spokesman Tom Bowen said Tuesday, referring to the traditional GOP foundation across the 14th District. "They should be leading by 10 points ... because he's known by more people and he's Republican."

I just happened to be flipping thru the radio and heard Rush say that he is planning to host a fundraiser for HRC:

"Whether you perceive this as a slap to McCain, or you perceive this as an idea to unify our party against the Democrats, i am announcing today that I will do everything I can to help fund Sen. Clintons campaign."

Obviously Republicans need Hillary to get the nomination to have any chance, but this is BEYOND desperate.
