If only we could hold a sonogram wand against the belly of this election beast, the sex of the next president, and the size of his/her win, could be accurately predicted. But the campaigns are still developing, it's early in the race, and this election has crappy health insurance. We'll have...

When election officials pressed pause and the candidates scrambled to their seats last night, the line-up in that round of musical chairs reshuffled. Hillary Clinton moved from third in Iowa to first in New Hampshire. Edwards dropped from second last week to third last night. Obama's second-place...

Seriously, Political Nanny is just waiting for a nationwide media meltdown. Reporters laying face down on the ground. Photographers throwing their equipment across the room. Candidates pounding their fists and bawling like babies. (That may have begun to happen already .) There's just so much going...

WOOHOO!! Senator Barack Obama won the Iowa caucuses Thursday night in his bid to be the first black president in American history. Obama is seen here celebrating with wife Michelle and daughters Malia, 8, and Sasha, 6. The opinions of this blogger do not necessarily reflect the views of FameCrawler,...

Well, that was that. The candidates stepped out and tested the cold, cold waters of voter approval last night in Iowa.

But Political Nanny did set the Nanny Cam up to follow her girl Hillary who made a last-minute appearance on the show. (Political Nanny will comb the Internet to find a better clip ... bear with...

Political Nanny's pet presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich made a surprising demi-endorsement just a day and a half before Iowans kick off the voters' portion of the 2008 election program. He told his supporters to back Barack Obama if they can't gather enough Kucinich delegates to meet...

Who cares what the governor of New Hampshire thinks, right? Or the editor of Iowa's largest daily. Or, sorry to say, Sean Penn . Political Nanny listens to Political Nanny when it comes to who she'll vote for in the primaries. Endorsements, with a couple of exceptions , just haven't been...

Over the past three months, Political Nanny has grown to love her lot of disagreeable, argumentative, name-calling, cackling , power-praying little presidential candidates. They're approaching the first of many back-to-back primary election milestones -- only three days until Iowa! -- but have already...
