In case you strategically blocked it from your memory, the Obama campaign has produced a fourteen-minute behind-the-scenes video from the Democratic National Convention in Denver. Propaganda, obviously, but there's some fun stuff in here. -- Joe Tone
In the aftermath of the Democratic National Convention, peddlers have not unexpectedly taken to eBay to sell leftover T-shirts and buttons and other paraphernalia.
But there have also been other kinds of souvenirs for sale, as well such as the "goodie bags" that delegates received, DNC keycards from local hotels, confetti from the final night of the convention, and – a very hot seller -- the dual-image, hard plastic tickets to Barack Obama’s August 28 speech at Invesco Field at Mile High.
At one point, these were the hottest tickets in town, and people tried to sell them online even as the Obama campaign threatened to take action against people who did.
Barack Obama has been losing ground to John McCain in many national polls among likely voters -- but he's apparently way out front among Mexican food. At least that's one way to interpret the bizarre set of just-posted videos below, which date from the Democratic National Convention. In them, a variety of people declare that they're "Nachos for Obama!," or "Taco Salad for Obama!" or "Burritos for Obama!" What's it mean? Hell if I know -- but apparently frijoles and chimichangas remain firmly in the Republican camp.
