About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of the presidency, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges.

Since Professor Pitney (semi-jokingly) mentioned Sen. Tester as a potential running mate to Hillary Clinton, I thought I'd share some of Tester's campaign pictures. They are hilarious!!!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/testerforsenate/sets/72157594229425831/show/ How incredible would it be if Tester and Clinton did run together??!!!! That pair could not be anymore AWESOME.

Speaking of campaign stuff, please check out the RNC ad against Ford in the Tennesse senate race. While watching, keep in mind that Ford is black. (It's one of my favorite ads of the 2006 midterm elections. Basically, freakin' hilarious.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkiz1_d1GsA

And my last comment pertains to poor, old Rick Santorum. There is, I kid you not, a song about his daughter crying after Santorum lost the Pennslyvannia senate race... Talk about the interplay between media and politics. You can check the article out at http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1007/6384.html and even read some of the song verses.
