Today's Quote of the Day comes from HuffingtonPost.

In a story about Barack Obama's latest television ad in response to the Republican National Committee's McCain "Oil" ad, I found my favorite gem of a quote.

Many of the posts were voicing a hope that Obama would go into more detail about his "green power" solutions. Some folks liked the new commercial, while others thought Obama needed to go a bit farther.

The quote was made by Egalitare.
"The point was to hit back with easy to digest stuff for Joe and Jane Undecided. Even now, too many of those folks think "green power" is one of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers."

Here's the Barack Obama ad they were commenting on.

Senator Barack Obama has decided to forgo public financing of his Presidential campaign. Already John McCain is trying to use this decision to his advantage by calling Obama a 'flip-flopper'. The truth is John McCain refused to participate by conditions to be negotiated by both sides. McCain - like many other Republicans before him - will allow "independent" 527's to raise millions of dollars to run smear campaigns against Obama.

Obama has already asked 527's and PAC's to instead send donors to his campaign and has been successful at putting the brakes on many independent efforts - McCain doesn't wield that same power.

That is one of the reasons that Obama has decided to side with another type of public financing - that of millions of Americans giving what they can. He doesn't accept money from lobbyists or special interest PAC's.

You can hear him in his own words below talking about his decision.

Madonna prepares to divorce Guy Ritchie, hires Paul McCartney's lawyer? Fellow bloggers DListed and Towleroad ran stories last week about Madge's divorce but according to her spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg, "Mr. and Mrs. Guy Ritchie remain happily married."

HRC executives (that's the Human Rights Campaign not Hillary) gave over $4300 to Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign. They also gave Dodd $3000 - John Edwards $750 - Bill Richardson $500 - and Barack Obama $0.

What does gay look like? The Los Angeles Times recently published an article on the researching of "gay traits". No, not the affinity to Barbra Streisand or Rosie O'Donnell but finger length, hair whorls, and penis size. Nothing really new here - except that a lot more lefties are gay. Left handed, I mean.

Billy Crystal outs Jake Gyllenhaal. “He was always performing,” remembers Crystal. “He would sing from South Pacific and we’d all go, ‘He’s gay, he’s going to be gay.’” Jake played Crystal's son in City Slickers when he was 10. You can hear it for yourself In the DVD commentary of the new edition of City Slickers.

The latest viral video to stoke the fires of our upcoming Presidential election. The title may scare some off, "I'm Voting Republican", but most of you will get a laugh from it.

Those that fear for a divided Democratic Party come November should be put at ease after Hillary Clinton's phenomenal speech today to her supporters. What was a very hard fought race that broke limits for women and Blacks shall be remembered as the beginning of a different America.

Hillary's speech was amazing. She ended her campaign very classy and on a very high note. The speech is long but worth every moment. Well done, Hillary!

Onward to November where we will beat McCain and get our country back on track.

It could have all ended tonight. Perhaps. Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow morning and find a surprise from Indiana. Sen. Barack Obama handily beat Sen. Hillary Clinton in North Carolina tonight but Indiana results are too close to call (as of the time of this post).

I was hoping that tonight could have been the end of a very prolonged Democratic nominating season and begin the much needed unifying process for the Dems. The "media" seemed to be having a field day with the Exit Polling Results and strumming the drums that Obama wouldn't be able to beat McCain in November - in particular, Clinton supporters said they would not vote for Obama if he was the nominee.

"...they say the exit polls out of both states Tuesday night have bolstered their electability argument: they show Obama’s supporters are more likely to support Clinton in the fall than vice versa."

I'm actually appalled that the Clinton campaign would use this as a talking point for why she should be the nominee. The Clinton camp should be ashamed that so many of their supporters would jump ship on the Democratic Party and jump in the sack with McCain.

The truth is most of these people will vote for whoever is the Democratic candidate regardless - and right now many people are very motivated for their candidate. I'm happy to see that 70% of Obama supporters said they would vote for HIllary if she were the nominee. That's the way it should be.

If you are a engaged breathing citizen you probably have already gotten your fill of politics - particularly Obama VS. Hillary - lately. I'm not here to add my comments to an already overflowing pot so I'll just post this hilarious video. Read into it what you will...

Yesterday as I was surfing the blogosphere, catching up on Pennsylvania election news, and perusing for new gay news I came across Kellee Terrell's Pop Gumbo blog.

I was drawn in to her entry about Michelle Obama. Some of you might remember a few months ago with Michelle Obama said that she was ashamed of the United States for so long but now she is beginning to love her country again. (Or something to that effect.)

Well, Kellee lays out a lot of great reasons many people have lost faith or feel ashamed of the US. Among some of her wonderful points are our horrible job at helping the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

BUT, the quote of the day for me yesterday was this:

"How can you love a nation that allowed for Full House to be on for a damn decade and cancelled My So-Called Life after 12 measly episodes?" (Source: Pop Gumbo)

My point exactly. Thanks Kellee!

Hillary surprised critics with a victory tonight in New Hampshire. It seemed like Obama was on a fast track all the way to victory but apparently he missed the train. Though the race was very close - Hillary with 39% and Obama with 36% - it is clear now that this is anyone's race.

I've actually found this election very difficult for me to decide on my candidate. I much prefer Obama but I can't shake a feeling of really wanting to like Hillary. That was especially the case today after seeing how viciously she was attacked for showing some signs of being human to ABC yesterday.

This is one of those times where I find myself really wanting to like Hillary. Consider her predicament: always be tough and get the rap for being a phony stone cold bitch or show some real human emotions and be considered weak, stressed, or a "typical" emotional woman.

Check out her "emotional" ABC clip and another of a sexist Hillary heckler.

While I can't make a final decision on the leading Democratic candidates I do know that for the first time I'm actually paying attention to what everyone is saying. Though I'm leaning towards Barack, I'm still trying hard to really like Hillary.

Where do you stand? Let us know how you feel about Elections 2008.
