SNL: Hillary and Obama… There can only be one
Winner of MoveOn’s “design your own Obama ad” contest chosen
Hat tip to Hot Air, which alerted us to this one:
Chosen, I should add, by a celebrity panel including Eddie Vedder, Oliver Stone, and, um … Markos Moulitsas. Here’s the winning spot; brimming with Absolute Moral Authority and devoid of any coherent reason for voting for Obama aside from the bare assertion that he’ll represent the left and right — a fact completely belied by his voting record — it is, I hope you’ll agree, the perfect pick. Coming soon to a battleground state near you.

Hillary just won’t melt…
Hillary Clinton is being asked – no, told – by party elders, pundits and people who say they care about their country, to quit the quest of a lifetime: to stop raining on Barack Obama’s presidential parade, the Democratic Party and even democracy itself.
By yesterday, as the superdelegate tally reflected either a tie or Obama in the lead, Senator Clinton’s last “I can do this” weapon was steadily slipping away from her.
Yet there she was, glad-handing at a Mother’s Day “celebration” in West Virginia with her daughter Chelsea at her side, perhaps offering one clue to her emotional stamina: As Gail Collins wrote in The New York Times, the embattled senator is privately saying “she does not intend to go home and tell Chelsea that she’s a quitter.”

Obama: Hillary Is Like Bush
Earlier, Obama likened Clinton to President Bush for threatening to “totally obliterate” Iran if it attacks Israel as he tried to fend off her challenge ahead of two pivotal Democratic primaries.
Clinton, in turn, stood by both her comment on Iran and her tax proposal as she gave chase in Indiana and North Carolina to the front-runner for the nomination.
The competitors squabbled over the issues — one foreign, one domestic — from a short distance, first during separate appearances on Sunday news shows and then as they courted voters for Tuesday’s primaries.
“This is the final push,” Clinton told a cheering crowd of volunteer canvassers in Fort Wayne, emboldened by her Pennsylvania victory two weeks ago as well as polls that show her in a close race in Indiana and narrowing Obama’s lead in North Carolina.
A few hours later and a few miles away, Obama urged an audience of several thousand to vote for him. “I need help,” he said.
