Clinton and McCain’s website victory images
Posted by Parker V on January 9, 2008 under Elections | Read the First Comment
John McCain’s front page was celebratory. The candidate is shown with microphone in hand and patriotic confetti rains down upon a collage of supporters. The text brags about the victory and the overall message is “look! I’m popular! seriously!”
Hillary Clinton’s front page shows her in focus among a blurred background. The photo used is soft and warm with the candidate’s hand over her heart as if to say “ah. why thank y’all so much!”
Similarities:
-Both candidates used stock photo’s instead of ones taken from the night of their win.
-Both candidates are open-mouth smiling in their pictures.
-Both candidates are facing the viewers right.
Bill O’Reilly scuffles with Obama staffer

Originally from Lynn Sweet in the Suntimes blog:
The incident was triggered when O’Reilly–with a Fox News crew shooting–was screaming at Obama National Trip Director Marvin Nicholson “Move” so he could get Obama’s attention, according to several eyewitnesses. “O’Reilly was yelling at him, yelling at his face,” a photographer shooting the scene said.
O’Reilly grabbed Nicholson’s arm and shoved him, another eyewitness said. Nicholson, who is 6’8, said O’Reilly called him “low class.”
“He grabbed me with both his hands here,” Nicholson said, gesturing to his left arm and O’Reilly “started shoving me.” Nicholson said, ” He was pretty upset. He was yelling at me.”
Secret Service agents who were nearby flanked O ‘Reilly after he pushed Nicholson. They told O’Reilly he needed to calm down and get behind the fence-like barricade that contained the press.
Obama had his back turned at this point and did not see any of this.
O’Reilly yelled “sir” at Obama and Obama walked over, not aware of what happened and told him he had an overflow crowd to visit. According to the time code from a photographer shooting the two, Obama and O’Reilly talked near 11:45 a.m. eastern time.
MediaBiestro’s TV Newser denies Sweet’s reporting, saying: Insiders tell TVNewser O’Reilly and his crew were on a ropeline, but their shot was being blocked. So, the FNC host was doing his damndest to make sure his cameraman got the shot as Obama walked by. Despite the Sun-Times reporting, insiders tell us the Secret Service was not involved.
O’Reilly responded on Fox News, saying
“A big guy, 6’8″ and stands right in front of ‘The Factor’ camera. So I asked him, fairly nicely, ‘You’re blocking our shot, sir, you need to move a little bit.’ The cameraman that I had actually moved away from him. He moved right in front of the cameraman again to block our shot. So, I had to gently remove him from that position.”
UPDATE: The shoddy video is here below, and yes, O’Reilly did call the guy an SOB.

With foreign policy their top concern, students see Clinton, Giuliani as most probable 2008 candidates rings the sub-headline from Yale Daily News
He may be locked in a three-way dead heat in the latest polls of Iowa Democrats, but with one day to go before the voting begins in the 2008 presidential primaries, Senator Barack Obama has the residential-college vote all but locked up.The Illinois Democrat was the top choice of 26.4 percent of undergraduates surveyed in a recent Yale Daily News poll, giving him more than twice the support of New York Senator Hillary Clinton LAW ’73 — the only Yale graduate in the field — who registered 12.1 percent.
With 42.3 percent of students saying they are still undecided, no other candidate even came close to matching that figure: the next-highest finisher was former North Carolina Senator John Edwards, who won 3.7 percent of the vote. Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd, who has represented the Nutmeg State since 1980, garnered just 0.2 percent support.
On the Republican side, the top vote-getter was maverick Texas Congressman Ron Paul, who pulled 3.2 percent of the vote. The next four finishers were former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani at 2.5 percent, Arizona Senator John McCain at two percent, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney at 1.9 percent and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee at 1.2 percent.
The News’ poll — conducted online between Dec. 31 and Jan. 2 and sent to the entire undergraduate student body — received 1,833 responses.
