Or maybe you prefer
You know I'm loving The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, SNL and The Onion. Truly great political comedy is an American tradition and a national treasure.
But let's say when deciding how to vote, you prefer a straight up objective, intelligent interview. I don't mean objective as in: Pretend I'm smart but somehow have no opinions. I mean objective as in: I'll tell you my perspective so that you can take it into consideration. I don't mean interview as in: Let's shout, call names, repeat our talking points even if they aren't quite true because the end justifies the means and by the end I mean as long as I win in the end.
I mean a real conversation about things that matter, discussed as if you know they matter. As if you are actually listening to each other and could hear something that worth considering. There are lots of good interviews on the Rachel Maddow website, including her interview with Dan Rather. He sets the junk-talk aside and says, look we have two candidates who are both qualified to be President. What matters is their politics.
The best interviews of this campaign may be this series of interviews Maddow did with Obama in this last week. It's no secret that she's a liberal. She's also a great interviewer.

Catty, aren't we.

Gov. Palin doesn't understand why 60% of women don't support her. ABC News
Jezebel thinks it just might be Palin's political positions on "pay equity, abortion, health care, taxes, the environment, energy exploration, foreign policy or who should pay for the forensic exams after a woman is raped."
Conservative radio host Bill Bennet thinks the problem is those liberal feminists. "I don’t know which drives them more crazy. Let me give you three things that I think drive them crazy, and you don’t have to comment. That’s she’s very attractive, that she’s very competent, or that she’s very happy. You know, as a human being." Notice Bennet offered, "you don't have to comment." But Republican campaign guy Rick Davis jumped right into it with, "Yeah, all of the above." You can listen here if you can stand the whole minute or so.
I guess it's a women are from Venus thing. But here's what I just love.
Apparently 60% of American women are now liberal feminists!

Meanwhile, you guys from Mars don't have to vote based on political positions either. I can suggest three reasons why many conservative men don't support Obama. He’s very attractive, he’s very competent, and he’s very happy. You know, as a human being. And he can dance.
The Dance-Off! Yay-yo!
