Barack Obama raised an incredible $150 million for his campaign in September. That’s a whole lot of $20 and $50 contributions. And even more evidence that ‘change’ isn’t just a slogan, folks really believe if it’s going to happen, Barack Obama needs to get cozy in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for the next four years. This week Barack Obama will be in Florida for two days to court those all important swing voters. Early voting started this morning and tends to account for 15% of the final result in states that do so. Obama can’t have anyone walk up to a voting booth with half-baked impressions.

The MTV Video Music Awards had a number of problems..

Can this even be called a performance? It was a complete joke. She strolled around the stage like it was a walkthrough rehearsal. I’m waiting and waiting for her to suddenly explode into her act. You know, thinking this can’t possibly be her show.

Now we’re into the second chorus.. it’s clear THIS is IT. . like Rihanna..

That’s when the laughing began.. across the country.
