Now voting for him his compared with the Boston Tea Party, the American Revolution, going to the moon, Edison’s lightbulb, and the Wright Brothers’ first flight.

This one turns Obama into Lincoln, FDR, and Kennedy. Oh, why not throw in Jesus while you’re at it?
This time, kids recite his words:
Hillary might as well be putting a stalk of hay in her teeth after last night’s victory fueled by rural Pennsylvanians. You know, the bitter folk. So she sticks with her new best friends from the sticks as she challenges Barack to two debates in Oregon, one focusing on the problems of life in rural oregon.
NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd explains why it is “impossible” for Barack Obama to lose his lead in pledged delegates.
Sound Bite: “If we called things like this, and we don’t call them . . . the pledged delegate count is over.”
Like a rockstar with a T-shirt concession, McCain loves to name his tours. His latest: The Time for Action Tour opens in Gees Bend, Al.:
Hillary Clinton’s victory speech in Pennsylvania:
Has Bill Clinton gone dotty? Or is he simply trying to sabotage his wife’s campaign so he can get back to work as a globe-trotting influence peddler? What is up with Bubba?
In a radio interview Monday with Pennsylvania station WHYY, the former president said that the Obama campaign “played the race card on me . . . and we now know from memos from the campaign and everything that they planned to do it all along.” (Audio clip here.) Today Clinton denied making the remark.
Later in the day a reporter asks Barack Obama about Clinton’s remarks. Not surprisingly, Obama is confused.
Sound Bite: “I have no idea what you’re talking about. What was he talking about? . . . Was there something that we had a plan to get him to say that my campaign was like Jesse Jackson’s? I don’t know what he’s referring to.”
In this 30-second spot running in Indiana, Hillary Clinton says she’s she’ll “stand up to China” and “create 5 million new jobs.” (Don’t you love it when candidates promise they’ll “create” jobs.)
Today’s college kids are smart, says Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, but they go to an Obama speech “and sort of drink the kool-aid.” No doubt that characterization will win over the youth vote for Hillary.
On the eve of the Pennsylvania primary Barack Obama talks with Jon Stewart about “the Republican attack machine,” whether he “plans to enslave the white race” and what he will do if Hillary continues running after Inauguration Day.
Sound Bite: “There’s no doubt that President Clinton has done me a favor. She’s put me through the paces. This has been like spring training.”

Yes, it’s come to this. The three candidates do promos for World Wrestling Entertainment’s highly rated Monday Night RAW show. (Viewer Advisory: Not recommended for latte liberal elitists.)
Monday night’s show included a match between faux Clinton and Obama characters — with Slick Willie as Hillary’s manager. The match ends in a draw and then some big Samoan wrestler gets into the ring and kicks ass. (Check out the ears on “Barack.”)
John Hockenberry of the new public radio show The Takeaway (starting Monday) goes to Cabelas, the Wal-Mart of guns and hunting gear in Pennsylvania, and hears these guys edging toward Obama. But that doesn’t match the latest McClatchy poll, which says Clinton leads there with gun owners… and bowlers.
And what is “It?” What it is bro.
Here’s the latest effort from Barely Political, the folks who brought us Obama Girl.
