Over the past seven years of the Bush Administration, I’ve realized that to know what people are lying about, just listen to what they’re accusing others of doing–which is exactly what Christian-right leader and founder of Focus on the Family, James Dobson has done by claiming that Barack Obama is ‘distorting’ the Bible. His comments come in reference to a two-year-old speech Obama gave in June 2006, while speaking to a Christian group.

In an email sent out this afternoon, former Vice President, Oscar-winner and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Al Gore endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for President of the United States. His endorsement comes long after most would consider relevant, since the choice is now down to only Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain, a Republican.

The email comes a few hours before the former VP and the Democratic Presidential hopeful take the stage together at 8:30pm [EST] in Detroit, Michigan. The rally will be broadcast live via streaming video, available at BarackObama.com.

This is definitnely a key endorsement (imagine if it went to McCain…), but it’s not like most didn’t see it coming. [BarackObama.com]

There’s been much hubbub recently over the “Obama pound”–namely that old people don’t know what the f**k a “pound” is–or at least couldn’t name it if they saw it. The now wide-spread picture (above) of presumptive Democratic nominee for President, Sen. Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle on stage at Tuesday night’s victory speech has the media spinning on their heads. But what does it really mean?

After doctors diagnosed Sen. Edward (Ted) Kennedy with brain cancer this week, colleague and presidential candidate Barack Obama has agreed to fill-in at Sunday’s Wesleyan graduation cerimony as the event’s commencement speaker.  Read More »

This evening, the polls for the Kentucky and Oregon primaries will be closing. And for what seems like the thousandth time this year, the networks will fire-up their analysis machines for a night of back and forth bickering and pithy partisan politics.

To add some substance to tonight’s yammering, we at COED have created a simple drinking game, honoring Kentucky’s signature spirit. So grab your Bourbon of choice (I’d recommend Bullitt, Maker’s Mark or Booker’s), drop in some ice, pour a glass, and let the polls report! If only we can get Chris Matthews to play, then we’ll be in for some entertainment.

As if the writing weren’t already on the wall (no, not Hillary dropping out), Sen. John Edwards today endorsed Sen. Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee for President. He made his announcement at an Obama rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan in a speech that comes a day after Sen. Clinton won the West Virginia primary.

As a former cadidate in this race (yes, it’s still the same one) who’s suporters were mainly white, working-class voters, Edwards’ endorsement is thought to help bolster Obama’s appeal in this voting block, where he’s lost consistently to Clinton. Unfortunately for her, she’s lost a lot more.

Just so you know, Obama won HUGE tonight. At this point, Clinton must overcome a near mathematical impossibility to secure the nomination.

UPDATE: According to MSNBC, Hillary Clinton is now (1:10am) the winner of Indiana, with a 2-point,  12,000 vote lead. Still, Barack Obama ends the night with a 700,000 vote lead, overall.

That, however, was not the funniest part of the night. At tonight’s Obama rally–after his substantial win in North Carolina, with Indiana still (at 12:30am) “too close to call”–it more resembled a slam-poetry session than a political speech. But who the hell was that guy free-styling with Obama from the audience? Can somebody track him down for me? I want to meet that guy.

This must be a first… a presidential candidate sponsored by a clothing company??? Maybe it’s just coincidence that the three jug heads in the second row are sporting three different Abercrombie & Fitch Tees. Just Saying.
