Not since the days of Ross Perot has a third party candidate received enough support to be included in the presidential debates. But does America suffer from its lack of a third major political party?
You've probably already seen the photo of Big Apple Pizza owner Scott Van Duzer giving Barack Obama a mighty bear hug hug during a campaign stop the President made in Fort Pierce, FL over the weekend.
The picture started to go viral on Sunday, and suddenly Van Duzer became an instant-celebrity who is currently making the media rounds. But when the muscular 46-year-old, a self-proclaimed Republican, said he would also be voting for his new hug buddy it didn't sit well with some conservatives.
While on the campaign trail in Fort Pierce, Florida, yesterday, President Barack Obama found himself on the receiving end of a monster bear hug courtesy of a 6-foot, 3-inch tall restaurant owner weighing 260 pounds. Where's the Secret Service when you need them?
These guys might be on to something. It turns out if you put your support for Barack Obama on a ridiculous hat on your head, you still have your hands free for clapping. Because you’re going to need them for speeches and also dancing awkwardly. This lady isn’t the only one doing it — silly hats are all the rage at the DNC this year.

Given the proliferation of social media over the last four years, 2012 should be the social media election.
Although he says “Everyone’s got their opinion, man,” Jeff Bridges is pretty quick to back that up with “Obama’s the man” in this interview with CNN. Bridges will be performing at the Democratic National Convention to try to gain support for his efforts to end childhood hunger in America. But what kind of news anchor would somebody be if they didn’t ask him to impersonate his character from ‘The Big Lebowski’ and talk a little bit about politics?
After Clint Eastwood‘s bizarre appearance at the Republican National Convention last week, it’s safe to say the election season has gotten weird. Are the Democrats courting similar spectacle by inviting famed movie stoners Harold and Kumar to their big show this week?
People worked themselves up into such a fizz over news that the President brews his own beer that the White House decided to share its recipe. You may not be able to debate like Obama, but now you can drink like him!
Vice presidential hopeful Paul Ryan has gotten a lot of flak for the level of misstatements in his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. It seems the criticism isn’t limited to his statements on politics and government.
‘Tough People Do’ is a song about inner strength. But when Trace Adkins performed his new song at the Republican National Convention this week, it became a political anthem.
