Black Sheep’s Dres revived his classic joint to support Obama: You can get with this or you can get with that. The video is quite creative as well.

Hendrik Hertzberg breaks down how Obama got a bargain deal on his half-hour infomercial:

Obama’s half hour was the equivalent of sixty thirty-second commercials. The average price of a thirty-second prime-time ad on NBC is $102,928. On CBS it’s $116,729. Therefore, to buy a half hour in thirty-second increments—the usual procedure, at which no one bats an eye—on both networks would cost…let’s see…$13,179,420.

New Hampshire Republican, Fred Bramante, drops McCain and backs Obama on education:

Bramante, a member of the state Board of Education, said he opposes McCain’s support of school vouchers, which he said politicians must abandon if they want to improve education.

Bramante said he’s concluded that McCain would do little to improve education, while Obama supports new and innovative ideas.

I like Obama’s logo next to Daring Fireball. Very subtle but gives the site a nice touch.

Take a minute to read this well-written endorsement from the Economist:

[T]he Candidate McCain of the past six months has too often seemed the victim of political sorcery, his good features magically inverted, his bad ones exaggerated. The fiscal conservative who once tackled Mr Bush over his unaffordable tax cuts now proposes not just to keep the cuts, but to deepen them. The man who denounced the religious right as “agents of intolerance” now embraces theocratic culture warriors. The campaigner against ethanol subsidies (who had a better record on global warming than most Democrats) came out in favour of a petrol-tax holiday. It has not all disappeared: his support for free trade has never wavered. Yet rather than heading towards the centre after he won the nomination, Mr McCain moved to the right.

Will the real McCain please stand up? Looks like the real McCain is beaten by the evil one.

Joe got some shit to take care of, McCain.

Eugene Nguyen, a Vietnamese-American blogger, shares his first post:

My father’s decision to vote against his party in supporting McCain-Palin ticket made me uneasy and angry. His vote is misinformed. His vote is based upon the skin color of a candidate not on “the content of their characters” or qualification. With just a glance at Michelle Obama, he exclaimed in horror why a presidential candidate’s wife looks so much like a “homeless” woman. He had not been following the campaign at all but readily supported the GOP platform. And with that, he influenced my mother’s vote.

Thanks for sharing such a personal account. We can’t blame them for the misinformation coming from our own community. A couple days ago, my mom called me and told me to vote for the “white man” not the “black man.” (She is not racist. She just doesn’t know their names.) I asked her for the reason and she said behind Obama is a handful of terrorists. I stayed calm and asked her where she found the information from. She was on the phone with my distant aunt who recently moved to Texas from Paris. My only reply was: are you going to listen to someone who is not even in the country for long and relying on SBTN for her source or your own son? Of course, my mom never listens to her own son.

With his idiotic, disgusting tactics, McCain shows that the man who is so desperate for the White House has no fundamental decency left in him. It’s really damn low.

This one is a more tasteful ad, and no, it doesn’t come from the McCain campaign.

Over 6,000 physicians and 1,000 medical students across the country have signed to support Obama health care plan. Doctors for Obama:

“Having witnessed the devastating consequences of our healthcare crisis, we feel compelled to speak out in support of the leader we believe will bring high quality, affordable health care to all Americans.” said Dr. Vivek Murthy, co-founder and co-chair of Doctors for Obama and an internal medicine physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA. “We are choosing between two candidates who have proposed starkly different visions for healthcare reform. There is too much at stake in this election for physicians to remain silent. Physicians need to come together to advocate for the plan that will be best for patients, doctors, and the health of America. That is why we started Doctors for Obama.”
