BARACK OBAMA IS PRESIDENT OF FUNDRAISING: Obama raised $51 million in July, compared to John McCain’s $27 million. The Republican National Committee still has way more cash on hand than its Democratic counterpart, however, because the Democrats are spending all their money on beer and weed. [AP]

Good news, Obamatards with tickets to Barack Obama & the Decemberists’ big concert at Mile High Stadium: You are encouraged to go through 10 miles of security lines and enter the INVESCO outdoor FEMA detainment camp at 1 p.m., a half day before Obama will speak. Also, you can’t bring booze. Also, there will be [...]

This is why John McCain will win the presidency: All of his exciting sex scandals happened 50 years ago, and since then he’s pretty much confined his misdoings to dull and complicated campaign finance/influence peddling bullshit that nobody cares about. We defy you to watch this very informative attack ad without falling asleep 15 times. [...]

Reliable New York Times reporter Bill Kristol tells Fox News that once-popular Republican Colin Powell will endorse Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, and might even be giving a speech at the DNC or introducing Obama at the Stadium Concert with the Decemberists or who knows! Very exciting, we guess? Colin Powell is famous for being [...]

This is one of many great short films submitted to something called Cinemocracy.org, which is the official film festival of the DNC in Denver! One of these lucky crazy people, hopefully this one, above, who is moaning into a 9-foot-long tube, will be the winner and get their crazy-ass little YouTube shown to 75,000 people [...]

SPEAKING OF CONVENTION PARTY TIME: Regarding this, about the fancy cocktail parties in Denver and St. Paul, Wonkette is not seeing quite enough invitations. We’ll need four invites for all the fun things, thanks, and then we’ll post the sexy pictures here. [The Hill]

OH GREAT, NADER IS ALSO HAVING A DENVER SUPER-DUPER RALLY: They’re churning out the e-mails over at Nader-Gonzales world headquarters today: “The Headquarters’ energy is fully concentrated on Nader’s “Open the Debates’ Denver Super Rally at the Magness Arena at 7 p.m. on Aug 27, during the Democratic National Convention. Ralph Nader … is currently [...]

The DNC has released a new web ad called “Exxon John” to support its “Exxon-McCain” gimmick. Maybe 50 or 100 political web junkies will recognize that this ad parodies the unintentionally hilarious Sen. John Cornyn video from a couple of months ago, “Big John.” Everyone else in the world, however, will watch this and wonder, [...]

OH HEY, IT’S HILLARY: “Sen. Hillary Clinton told a gathering of supporters last week that she’s looking for a ‘strategy’ for her delegates to have their voices heard and ‘respected’ at the Democratic National Convention — and did not rule out the possibility of having her name placed into nomination at the convention alongside Sen. [...]

From a DNC scribe: “The DNC is launching Exxonmccain.com this afternoon with a press conference with Governor O’Malley. As part of the effort the campaign has launched a website showing McCain’s ties and work on behalf of big oil. Besides a website, Democrats are going to hold Exxon-McCain events whenever John McCain or his surrogates [...]

GODDAMMIT. You get an email from the DNC saying “Hey check out our new video, it is called ‘Puppet Masters,’ and it is about –” and you don’t even read to the end because shit, it is an ad with puppets in it, you are already clicking the clicky. Then: misery and heartbreak. This ad [...]

WATCH THE AD. WATCH THE AD. WATCH THE AD. WATCH THE AD. READ WONKETTE. READ WONKETTE. READ WONKETTE. FEED ME. FEED ME. FEED ME. [DNC]

Like every American city these days, Denver is filled with tragically insane homeless people. But what will happen when downtown Denver becomes a terrifying Green Zone of a million cops surrounded by a million hippie protesters? Will this make the starving, mentally ill, drug addicted people living on the streets uncomfortable? Maybe! So they’re going [...]

Your associate editor doesn’t have much in the way of an advertising degree, but is anything more annoying than this libtard fascination with McCain’s “100 years” in Iraq? Wasn’t the expiration date on that idiotic McCain slip back in, say, February? Sure, it only plays a bit part in this new terrible DNC ad, but [...]

EPIC FAILZ: Some DNC factotum just sent Wonkette a link to “Howard Dean’s refutation of the NYT assertions about the Democratic Convention shaping up to be a ‘disaster.’” The link didn’t work. ONE HOUR LATER: Now it works!
