In a move that will shake the foundations of political pundits more than John McCain's choice of running mate, the blog DadCentric has chosen to endorse Barack Obama for President. (full disclosure: Famecrawlerer Whit Honea writes for Dadcentric. We support our own.) The endorsement amusingly compares...

While Michael Phelps is buying condos and making out with Australian swimmers (not that I blame the guy for having some fun, mind you), adorable pixie-person Shawn Johnson is in Denver, leading the pledge of allegiance at the Democratic Convention. The L.A. Times points out that Johnson hasn't declared...

I caught some of Beau Biden's speech from The Democratic Convention last night. Beau is the son of Joe (ouch, that rhymes – Bo, Joe…his full name is Joseph Robinette Biden III), Barack Obama's running mate. He is the Attorney General of Delaware, and was on hand to introduce his father. He described...

Political Nanny would like to note that, mmmhmmm, she didn't realize others were still making an effort to get Clinton in the No. 2 spot. In any case...

First Eliot Spitzer , now Vito Fossella - these N.Y. politicians have been making lots of booty calls lately. Staten Island Republican Representative Fossella, who is already facing a drunken driving charge, admitted on Thursday that he had an extramarital affair with former Air Force lieutenant Laura...

Didn't Elizabeth Edwards famously dislike Hillary Clinton? Apparently, Edwards can separate the woman from the policy wonk. In terms of universal healthcare, the two couldn't be better BFFs. Which makes it all the more mysterious why she hasn't come out and endorsed Hillary. Voters in North...

Posted by Political Nanny Does God want Hillary Clinton to be president? A student at Messiah College in Pennsylvania asked her that and here's what she had to say: "Well, I could be glib and say we’ll find out,” Clinton said to laughter from the audience. “But I — I don’t presume anything about...

Political Nanny has packed up the candidates' clothes, toys and night-night blankets, loaded the moving van with their position papers, teleprompters and weighty political baggage, and sent change of address notices to their aides, managers, proxies and the press pool. In other words: Political Nanny...
