Sexbama for Prez: Will Fetishization Hurt the Barack Star?new
As we move into the final days until the election, it's become more apparent that people are not making rational decisions based on voting records or even debating skills. They are voting with their emotions, their passions, even their fantasies about who they would rather kiss, fondle or fuck.

What If the Election Doesn't End on Tuesday?new
The GOP fuss over the ACORN isn't just a way to whip up the conservative base. It's a possible prelude to post-election litigation aimed at reversing an Obama victory.

The Election's Already in the Bag: It's McCain, Stupid!new
I think the election is over. Signed, sealed, and delivered. With all due respect to Malcolm, McCain will take the presidency by all means necessary. There's just too much money to be made from war to give it all up just for the sake of "democracy." Of course, I might be wrong, and it’ll be the sweetest mistake of my life.

Obama Could Be a Great One-Term President
Barack Obama can continue the "permanent campaign" that has characterized the American presidency since 1976. Or he can govern like there's no tomorrow -- and make history.

With even Larry Sabato calling the state for Obama, who has been stumping the heck out of Virginia's Southwest, Commonwealth McCainiacs are reduced to hoping for a full "Bradley Effect" on November 4.

Pop Culture Has Long Been Prepared for a Black Commander-in-Chiefnew
If the upcoming election goes the way polls indicate, Barack Obama will indeed be the first African-American president of the United States. And he literally is the child of an African and an American. But the idea of a black president has been around for a long time.

Obama Finds that Feminism is Really About Principles, Not Personalitiesnew
I urge you to visit a new Feminist Majority website -- feministsforobama.org -- which has a very clear delineation and comparison of the Democratic and GOP platforms viewed through a feminist perspective. It also features Obama on its home page with the caption, "This is what a feminist looks like."

Keeping McCain in the Gamenew
It's the Fox/Talk Radio Money Bowl (and a healthy dose of racism) that keeps this ridiculous McCain/Palin ticket in the game. If the Obama/Biden ticket does triumph, this election will indeed be historic for more reasons than the American media is ready to talk about.

My Great Schlep to Florida Was More Surreal than Politicalnew
My Granny has decided on Obama without my help. She admits she was wary of Obama because she heard he was Muslim, but her friends convinced her he's Christian. Her friends also told her John McCain is just like George Bush, and when the stock market crashed, that decided things for her.
