Barack Obama doesn’t want Lindsay’s help
After Lindsay Lohan spoke out against Sarah Palin, and for Barack Obama, word has it that she wanted to pitch in to help Obama make it to the White House. That she offered to host a series of events to appeal to young voters. Sounds great, right? I mean, go Lindsay!! But apparently the Obama-Biden campaign wasn’t keen on the idea. An inside source says Lindsay ”is not exactly the kind of high-profile star who would be a positive for us.” They gave Lindsay a “thanks, but no thanks&

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

Obama Moments: Hip-Hop Artists & Political Figures Reflect
On a nippy February morning in Springfield, Illinois, a man named Barack Obama announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States. The country collectively yawned, the media snickered, conservatives cracked jokes, liberals worried that he was just overcrowding an already packed field primary field, and Black America smiled, but rolled back over in the bed, back into the covers, believing that nothing substantial would ever come of it.Because that's the way it's always been, and that's the way i

Lindsay Lohan's Offer To Help Barack Obama Campaign Reportedly Turned Down
With the daily sniping and backstabbing, the presidential campaign is starting to look like a remake of "Mean Girls."

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.
