Sunday Roundup

Lights, camera, politics! The stretch run of the '08 race has unleashed a torrent of citizen-created campaign videos, turning my inbox into a contagious media multiplex, and our HuffPost team into viral video Roger Eberts. Among our favorites: the astounding Obama/McCain dance-off (how did they do that?); the hysterical (and surprisingly poignant) return of the Waaaasup! guys; Opie and the Fonz come out for Obama (so do these alta cocker comedians); the "Change My World" choir; and the powerful sentiments of these Local Voices and these Conservatives for Obama. Plus, our own 23/6 has been knocking it out of the park on a regular basis, with Get Your War On, the Sarah Palin vlog, and SwiftJews for Truth. So break out the popcorn, hit play... then pass them on.

Arianna, Tonight in Asia we have a Financial Crisis!

McCain PLAYS GAMES and GIMMICKS While the World's Markets BURN!

Nero playing the fiddle while Rome burned!

Asian markets extended their slide Monday on fears about a U.S. recession and global economic slowdown and Hong Kong and Shanghai fall on decelerating corporate earnings growth.

CONFIDENCE must be restored and Bush and McCain can not do it!

We need Obama and his team ready to work on this to help restore Confidence in American Markets!

Here's another good youtube video, on McCain/Palin and the the religous right, we definitely don't need another 8 years of this stuff (or "heaven forbid" 16). It's got a good tune that's very fitting.

Yes..HuffingtonPost has been a one-stop source for news and videos. Congratulations on the increased traffic - your team has put a lot of time and effort to make sure the public is informed and engaged and I really believe it has helped to make a difference in this election.

the best summation of McCain's desperate attempt to muddy Obama comes from S.A.Aiyar in Times of India column: McCain has tried everything in his bag by linking Obama to a black racist (wright), a white terrorist (ayers), a red socialist (his economic plan) and a green islamist (his middle name)...

not sure what level of indecency and corrupt mentality mccain and palin will show in the next 9 days...

The Great Schlep is hysterical, too.

What is not fully appreciated, is that the wrath of the American people for what Bush has done to their nation is being directed at McCain since Bush is getting away free. I did campaigning door to door today(Ohio), and there is, on the other side of this, ALSO an incredible air of celebration by Obama backers -- young and old alike-- both campaign workers and the people who open their doors and give you a big high sign!

Thank you Huffington Post for being such a wonderful source of information and so clean and wholesome. I don't worry at all about having my 12 year old daughter read the Huffington Post because I know she will see nothing but the most clear and wholesome source of information to make her grow up left and strong.

Thank you Arianna, for just being you.

two hour documentary playing on CBC in canada called THE BUSH YEARS
his rise and fall
good history. lines up all the doves and the chicken hawks
see it ===judge for yourself
some americans interviewed rate him the worst president ever because of the condition he has left the country

On the issue of another stolen election. We have seen a very favorable U.S. Supreme Court decision out of Ohio on HAVA which will help to assure access to the polls in Ohio. Also, Indiana Supreme Court appear sto be taking a very conservative approach to any interference in the election with a recent decision that refused to expedite a hearing on satellite voter stations. Obama may yet win Indiana.

I think the Courts are going to be very reluctant to get involved in the election in anyway that suppresses or purges votes or registration this close to election. I don't think anybody really wants a repeat of 2000 (with the possible exception of John McCain).

Thank you Arianna for such a wonderful website/blogsite and opportunity to get the news that is difficult to get elsewhere.

I think that Arianna should be voted the sexiest woman in the world over 50.

The dance one is great. Another one of my favorites is MC Yogi: Obama '08 - Vote for Hope

I want to thank you for helping put the Obamacrats in the White House for the next four years! I'm looking forward to a kinder gentler Depression! I can't wait to get my check and tax cut and share it with my church and the Salvation Army! Thanks again. I love the idea of redistributing money from a secular government to grass roots believers!
