On Late Night, David Letterman slides between joking about and genuinely asking what's up with John McCain's decision to suspend his campaign and chicken out on the debate, and oh yeah, where is his qualified vice-president, he asks? She's has handled situations likes this, right? and, ya know, taking over in case McCain can't do his duties... that seems like something a running mate andmore importantly a VP should do, right? right??
at some point it's not really funny tho, is it?
and that pointis when you really grasp we are talking about our country, and the leadership we (can) provide in the world.
This is from last week or so, but it doesnt get old: a sweet 3-pointer, 1st try, and nothing but net. This is from Obama's visit to the troops in the middle east and Afghanistan. here is is in Kuwait.
There is now a version of Barack's "A More Perfect Union" speech with simplified and traditional Chinese subtitles on YouTube and available for download. Because of the length of the speech, the YouTube version has been split into four parts. All four parts are available through this playlist. Good, better, and best quality Quicktime versions are also available for download from the Captioned Media for Obama directory.
A multilingual version of Si Se Puede has also been posted on Youtube. It has subtitles in 8 languages (Spanish, English, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, French, Korean, Vietnamese, and German). A version with simplified and traditional Chinese subtitles is here.
Obama spoke to a sold-out crowd of Hoosiers yesterday. Even though Sen. Bayh endorsed Clinton and Indiana is considered Clinton country, Obama will make this state competitive on May 6 by bringing new people into the process and focusing on the grassroots.

MoveOn.org has a message for all filmmakers, writers, directors, actors, editors, composers, graphic artists, and animators: Whether you're a total amateur or a total pro, now is the time to use your creativity to help Barack Obama win. We're launching an ad contest: "Obama in 30 Seconds."
Powered by grassroots enthusiasm, Obama has won the most states and the most delegates. But the race isn't over, and we've got to pull out all the stops to help him across the finish line.
We're counting on you to make amazing ads in the next three weeks. Then, MoveOn members and the public will rate the ads, and a panel of top artists, netroots heroes, and filmmaking professionals will pick the winner from among top ads. We'll air the winning ad nationally, and the winner will receive a gift certificate for $20,000 in video equipment.
It looks like the Clinton campaign should do its homework next time before it issues its next negative attack against Obama.
Clinton's infamous "3AM" ad features old footage of a young actress asleep in her bed. She is now 17, and is not only planning to vote for Obama in 2008, but also has been volunteering for his campaign for several months.
Barack took questions today from an audience of veterans in San Antonio.
Military families have suffered long enough because of Bush's failed Iraq war, and it's unfortunate that Hillary Clinton voted for this foreign policy disaster. Quite the opposite, Sen. Obama was against the Iraq war from the beginning. We need a president who has the necessary judgment to lead us in the 21st century.
Watch this video highlighting Obama's principled stand against the Iraq war.
Thanks to all our volunteer who have been working so hard. Here's the famous "Yes We Can" video to get you fired up in the last 24 hours. While the Clinton campaign has launched negative attacks in these final days, we will win Texas because of our grassroots movement. Enjoy this spanish subtitled video and spread the word about Obama!
We need your help to fight back against the Clinton negative attacks. If you haven't already, please volunteer to become a Texas Precinct Captain.
Thanks to all our supporters who showed up for our East Austin Block Party on Friday night at Victory Grill. We had a great time, and over 400 people joined us for this exciting event. A special thanks to Cyril Neville (of the Neville Brothers) for rocking out and getting everybody fired up!
Flashback...
Here's the write-up of Cyril Neville's performance at last year's Auditorium Shores rally.
If Cyril Neville is running for anything - maybe Minister of International Culture or at least head of the National Endowment for the Arts - he's got my vote. That was the first endorsement to be drawn from the Barack Obama event last Friday, as Neville & Tribe 13 funkified the crowd for more than an hour in the intermittent drizzle, as we waited for the headliner. Queen G delivered a stellar version of "Piece of My Heart" (albeit with the somewhat unnerving refrain, "Take another piece of my heart ... Obama!"), and the whole band rocked with "Everything I do b-be funky ..." May we all be so blessed.
