You may be surprised at who some Ronulans are voting for this November; ProgressNowAction asks for your witty anti-McCain captions; hands-down, the best Hillary impression we've seen; only 2% of ad dollars will be spent online in '08; Googlers have a tough time spelling Hillary's name; the Obama campaign steers supporters away from 527s; Frank Lautenberg misses the chance to emulate Obama's online approach; Ralph Nader visits Google; and Al Gore tried to buy Digg in 2006.

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain continue to hit up supporters for cash via e-mail, but Obama for America is going one step further. The Senator's campaign is asking diehards via e-mail to trek to Oregon and knock on doors. The grassroots-minded campaign also used e-mail to push for residents of Obama's home state of Illinois to get out Tuesday's Indiana vote, in-person.

Clinton is losing friends on MySpace, and traffic to her website seems to be crashing. Meanwhile, the interwebs are having a ball with "When Obama Wins."

Jose Antonio Vargas thinks Barack Obama's early popularity online pointed to his electoral success; Color of Change hits Hillary for "race-baiting"; Al Franken is annoyed by a pesky blogger; the New York Times botches superdelegate data, and Congresspedia gets it right; super-conservative Richard Viguerie launches anti-John McCain site; Micah Sifry livestreamed on Qik; Obama launches a huge voter registration drive; the RNC hits Obama with an attack ad, almost securing him as the Democratic nominee in the process; and Obama wins an award for its texting smarts

Ah Friday. Brew some coffee. Take a load off. Let YouTube take over. Watch as Mike Gravel sweeps Obama girl off her feet; as GOOD shows us where the money comes from in this campaign; as Cobra Commander asks for you vote; as the GOP attacks Barack Obama's "empty rhetoric"; as Hillary Clinton raps about the campaign; as Obama and Clinton compete to control the universe; and much more. It's nice to have you here.

Conservative strategists team up to produce a new grassroots site for the right; some conservative bloggers are supporting Barack Obama, and some netroots bloggers are going for Clinton, while cats and dogs start living together; anti-Obama hoax emails are still making the rounds; a new Brave New Films video ties John McCain to another radical pastor; Obama gets vampiric in a new musical; Yes we shall... support Cobra Commander for president; Hillary Clinton has a secret meeting with a party official, and we have the footage; and Andrew Rasiej is crowned as a "czar" of the New York tech scene.

Immediately after the Pennsylvania primary, Hillary Clinton raised $10 million (or something) and told us all about it. Terry McAuliffe, her campaign chairman, sent email messages trumpeting the good news about new money and new donors. The campaign had momentum, and it wanted to tell the world all about it.

Tim Russert be damned, Hillary Clinton is staying in the race. Here's an excerpt from the fundraising email her campaign just sent out (emphasis hers):

Today, in every way that I know how, I am expressing my personal determination to keep forging forward in this campaign.

After our come-from-behind victory in Indiana, there are just 28 days of voting left. But we've never campaigned with the stakes as high or the time as short as they will be over the next four weeks.

And with you by my side, I'm going to keep fighting for what I believe in until every voter has had his or her say.

That last bit, of course, is code for Michigan and Florida.

The email is accompanied by a big ol' contribute button.

Hillary just put blinders on and started running straight for a brick wall.

Hillary wins IN, loses NC, and her Viagra may be running out; the pundits have annointed Obama the presumptive nominee; but Hillary's testicular fortitude remains; Hillary loans her campaign more money, doesn't directly ask supporters for money; Slate's Hillary Deathwatch is now in widget form; Obama supporters win Colbert's Democralypse; more government transparency in Utah.
