I posted this a few days back but I’m trying out a new video player that’s much smoother and much larger so I’m running this again. Enjoy!

Who do you think won last night’s Town Hall style Presidential Debate? I think it was Barack Obama’s to lose and if you didn’t catch it I’m sure you’ll be seeing snippets of that one awkward moment when John McCain tried to be witty and failed miserably. From CNN:
Immediately after the debate, Obama’s campaign highlighted a moment when McCain sought to criticize Obama for supporting the 2007 Bush-Cheney energy bill:
“It was an energy bill on the floor of the Senate, loaded down with goodies, billions for the oil companies, and …

Last night we hosted a live chat session during the Presidential Debate and we had a blast doing it. The two of us plus 80 of our friends as AvgBro puts it went point for point and jab for jab as we all watched the debate. Now I’d be lying if I said the room wasn’t heavily leaning towards the “O” man but, oh well. I told TheMom that was the most fun I’ve ever had watching a debate and guess what? We’re doing it again next week for the …

Over the weekend we attended a rally for presedential hopeful Barack Obama. It was the first time doing something like this for either one of us so check out our views, a video package put together by TheDad and our full photo gallery post to see what it was really like.

Here is last night’s VP debate skit from SNL featuring Queen Latifah as Gwen Ifil and Tina Fey as Sarah Palin again. Tell us what you think.

After hearing the word tossed around last night every five minutes some people are wondering what exactly is a maverick? Well…
mav·er·ick

One that refuses to abide by the dictates of or resists adherence to a group; a dissenter.

adj.
Being independent in thought and action or exhibiting such independence: maverick politicians; a maverick decision.

Do you think the Repubs. throwing this word around back and forth is helping the cause? Do you consider yourself a maverick or sorts? I’m the enforcer in my house, I lay down the majority of the punishments and …

Last night was interesting to say the least. Me and TheMom were met with the utmost frustration because we felt like Palin didn’t answer one measly question. On the other hand we thought Biden did a good job of being very detailed. Every question he was asked he layed out a detailed plan for the Obama/Biden camp and then drew contrast between their plan and McCain’s. Below you’ll find analysis from two sites and video of the entire debate.

Gwen Ifill PBS journalist and the moderator for tonight’s vice presidential debate is the latest topic of political controversy. Even though it’s been out since at least August that she’s writing a book yesterday the day before the VP debate it became an issue. The book titled, ““The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama” is about politics in the post civil rights era and is due to be released on the day our next President takes office. Because of this some are saying she has a …
