Debuting next week in "The New Adventures of Queen Victoria...." THE RY-BOT 4.278!

to build your Ignore list.

Sigh.

Mind if I hang out in here for a while?

No?

Then don't tell us it's "only one prayer" and to shut up and sit down again.

Mr. President, revoke his invitation.

A filmmaker friend, Chis LaBree, came to me back in the spring and said "is it just me, or is this election looking more and more like a reality show?"

And thus began the journey to "America's Next President."



"America's Next President" lampoons both our obsession with reality television and the dearth of political discourse in our modern world by letting the "voters" at home pick from among nine ridiculous candidates including a pot-legalization advocate, a fire-breathing preacher, a vulture capitalist, a man from Tennessee with three PhD's who lists his favorite hobby as "noodling," and a guy in a lobster costume. Oh, and Hitler.

Twice a week your host Mac Fleetwood joins judges Jessica Fletcher Christian Leibowitz, Drake "Pi-Dawg" Booker, and Missy-Lynn O'Hara as they put our candidates to the test. Who will win? Only the voting public knows for sure.

I had the pleasure of writing the first nine episodes of this satire cum farce, and the eventual winner actually will be picked by "voters" at the show's website at http://americas-next-president.com/

The series debuts September 17th, and I hope you enjoy it.

From electoral-vote.com, today's map with all polls factored in:



If you take Rasmussen out of the picture:



Take Rasmussen out, and Obama jumps from 297 to 347 electoral votes. Romney drops from 212 to 191.

I wonder what it would look like if you took just-as-biased "Purple Strategies" out as well.

No special reason, just you should be watching her.

When Johnson ran as Kennedy's VP they passed a law allowing his name to appear for two separate offices on the ballot, so he could keep his Senate seat if he lost. Lieberman took advantage of a similar law in Connecticut in 2000 (unfortunately).

Is Paul Ryan going to have to give up his House seat to run for VP?

Nice to see that the DU staff and I were on the same wavelength this morning.
