No word yet on whether the connection has destroyed Obama’s chances with the crucial “bigoted South Pacific combat veterans” demographic. Then again, something tells us they were going to vote for John McCain anyway. CLINTON: Back in February, Stumper mercilessly mocked the creator of “Hillary4U&Me,” a painful, over-choreographed pro-Clinton “music video.” " Sadly, the video, which was made by Texas volunteers, does not aspire to the same level of Three’s Company-era professional polish as “Hillary4U&Me”–and so, despite ourselves, we find it kind of adorable....
