Possible Presidents Map: Believe in the Green Light

A Houston teenager made this pro-Obama video. Oh, how we love the redeployment of the rap cliche.

Tonight's the final debate of this campaign, but with 19 days left, the candidates will still have time to do a lot of talking before then. Barack Obama isn't making any appearances today, choosing to prep in a secure undisclosed location--probably not Dick Cheney's house--for his verbal bout against Republican candidate John McCain at Hofstra University on Long Island.

In his stead, Joe Biden holds town meetings in Newark, Athens and Lancaster, Ohio, and possible first lady Michelle Obama speaks in Ft. Wayne, Indiana.

In interest of fairness, we would love to report on the activities of the other possible first lady Cindy McCain. But we haven't seen any evidence of events at which she has spoken without her husband--if you know of any, tip us off, won't you?

We assume today Mrs. McCain, like the senator, is preparing for tonight's standoff. But Gov. Sarah Palin hits New Hampshire with the fury of a wolf hunter with a helicopter, hosting rallies in Dover, Laconia and Salem.

"It is difficult to know what to make of New Hampshire," writes Daniel Nichanian of the Huffington Post, but those four electoral votes seem crucial to the Republicans at this juncture--they are even bringing out "First Dude" Todd Palin for an appearance in Berlin and Littleton.
