Barack Obama: Earlier today the Chicago Sun Times reported that Lindsay Lohan offered to host a series of events to appeal to young voters for Obama and his camp turned her down. Now, the McCain camp is slamming Obama for doing so.  “So let me get this straight,” said Tucker Bounds, a spokesman for the McCain campaign. “They turned away Lindsay Lohan, but Barack Obama has friends like unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers and convicted felon Tony Rezko? Maybe LiLo is just too upstanding for Barack Obama.”   Share: These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.

Barack Obama Graciously Turns Down Lindsay Lohan's Offer of Support [Politics]
Actress Lindsay Lohan, so politically outspoken these days, recently lobbied some criticism, once again on her MySpace page, against Sarah Palin—the Alaskan warrior poet who, just in the nick of time, stopped a confused John McCain from wandering into a cave full of bears and was named his Vice Presidential running mate as thanks. She said that Palin hates gays ("media-obsessed homophobe!") and that that is bad. And now she wants to join the cause and drum up support for Barack Obama! Trouble is, O

Barack Obama picks up about %15 of last Months Record-Breaking Campaign Fundraising from Hollywood Last Night
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Barack Obama partied with Hollywood celebrities Tuesday night and with the help of Oscar-winning singer and actress Barbra Streisand raised an eye-popping $9 million for his presidential campaign and the Democratic Party. The night was split into two glitzy events, a reception and dinner costing $28,500 each at the Greystone Mansion, followed by entertainment by Streisand at the nearby Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel. About 250-300 people were expected at the dinner and about 800 at

Is Palin Falling Into the Obama Trap?
It wasn’t long ago that all sorts of voices on the right, not to mention from John McCain’s campaign itself, were shrieking about the media’s disproportionate coverage of the two major presidential candidates. It was an utterly disingenuous ploy. Yes, the press was devoting vastly more ink and air-time to Barack Obama than John McCain, but they were merely feeding the public’s appetite: The guy with the fresh face attracts curiosity, which translates into big audiences and newsstand sales. Some of

He and his wife are expecting their second daughter in November, and they are letting their two year old name her. Just kidding, could you imagine what she would want to name her? Rob said she is pretty set on either Freeka or Laurie Berkner. At least that's better than what he wanted to name her. He said that they may go wit

Obama Back On Top
Barack Obama has regained his national lead after a ten day post-convention bounce for John McCain. In the all-important Real Clear Politics average (which averages national polling), Obama has regained a lead of 1.7%. McCain had held as much as a 3% national lead over the last week. At the height of Obama's convention bounce he held a respectable 6% lead. Whether or not McCain's bounce faded naturally, is the result of the continuing horrible economic news, or is because of Obama's freshly

Michael Lohan called out the Barack Obama campaign after they passed on Lindsay Lohan's offer to host events for young voters. A source in the Democratic candidate's camp told the Chicago Sun-Times that Lindsay "''is not exactly the kind of high-profile star who would be a positive for us.'' Michael had the following to say to TMZ: "Everyone is entitled to an opinion and so is Obama and his staff. Then again, you know what they say about opinions. Unfortunately, for them, to make such a comment about my da
