Holy crap, the future is here, and I'm not talking about the next president being elected tonight. CNN's election night talking heads won't be yapping against a boring green screen.

The attack of Huckabee's record is getting a lot of mileage. Good! Huckabee's liberal record needs to be exposed. I think we can tell that it is worrying Huckabee. This is about the heart and mind of the Republican party. Now you're seeing the real Mike Huckabee come out.
Even though it was the 800th debate in the last 24 hours, and it overlapped with the premiere of Lost, the Hollywood Liberals Debate last night “drew 8,324,000 million total viewers, making it.
Notice anything terribly wrong with Hillary Clinton's answer to Wolf Blitzer's question?

Sure, there are other things on TV tonight, but the election is not like the Super Bowl. Bragging about how you didn't watch the results to catch up on your Netflix as some sort of hipster protest will not win you any friends.

We're in the middle of the summer doldrums. The presidential candidates are doing their mightiest to focus our thoughts on the economy, on Iraq, to sharpen their messages to voters. They're up with new ads, attacking each other. The counters on the gas pumps roll ever higher. And the candidates are making moves in battleground states, places that just don't cotton to the stripes of the extreme left or the extreme right.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — In the latest The Best Political Podcast, Wolf Blitzer brings you an exclusive interview with GOP presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani, R-New York. Sen.
