Weekend Politics Wrap-Up

Unless you live in a cave or have a phobia of being in contact with the world on the weekends you've probably already heard that Sen. Barack Obama has chosen Sen. Joe Biden to be his VP. The announcement came in the wee hours of Saturday morning.

The Democratic National Convention begins on Monday in Denver. The theme for Monday is ONE NATION. Some of the speakers will include Nancy Keenan, NARAL Pro-Choice America; House Speaker Nancy Pelosi; Sen. Claire McCaskill; and Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. Keynote speaker will be Michelle Obama. Also rumored to speak on Monday is former GOP Congressman Jim Leach who has endorsed Obama and is a member of Republicans for Obama.

The McCain campaign wasted no time creating attack ads. They released an ad featuring HIllary Clinton alluding that she was passed over because she "spoke the truth".

Proving exactly who the real "elitist" in this election is, John McCain had to have his staff answer a question from Politico. The question certainly wasn't that difficult - your average American wouldn't need more than a few seconds to provide an answer - but McCain couldn't remember how many homes he owned. (He owns at least 4 and up to 7-10.)

And, lastly an inspiring video by Dave Stewart for his song, American Prayer. It features a plethora of celebrities including Whoopi Goldberg, Cyndi Lauper, Perez Hilton, Forest Whitaker, Margaret Cho, Barry Manilow, Linda Perry, and Joan Baez to name a few.
