OBAMA LEADS BY 14 POINTS AMONG LIKELY VOTERS: “The Obama-Biden ticket now leads the McCain-Palin ticket 53 percent to 39 percent among likely voters, a 14-point margin. One week ago, prior to the Town Hall debate that uncommitted voters saw as a win for Obama, that margin was just three points. ” Too bad he’s a robot! Pointy-headed intellectual Nate Silver suggests the CBS News poll result may be “a modest outlier,” so do not get your panties in a lather just yet. [CBS News]

Huzzah, the merciful Angel Maroni has spoken to Mitt Romney and instructed him to lobby hard for the Vice Presidential nod, making a comical jackass of himself as he attempts to become the running mate of the man who despises him above all others. And now two Republican party elders have joined Romney in this embarrassing quest: Karl Rove and former President George Bush. 
The thing I hate most about campaign season (2 years of nonstop campaigning for President, now brought to you by unbridled ambition and campaign finance “reform”!) is the goddamn endless stupid commercials. I don’t give a flying fuck if the candidates want me to have a Merry Christmas, I don’t care about their supposed minute differences, and I don’t care they they approved their messages. The election’s still 11 months away and I pretty much only watch obscure cable channels now to avoid the relentless advertising. Remember, though, when Presidential campaign ads were, like, effective (or, ineffective but still pretty good). Yeah, I’m too young, too, but we’ve got a Top 10 list for you anyway, after the jump.
