Presidential Jingles and Sympathy for the Loser
If this presidential election were a Hollywood movie, how would it end? Kurt Andersen talks with Lawrence O’Donnell (formerly a writer on The West Wing, now a political pundit on MSNBC) about the more interesting outcome. For the loser, David Ellis Dickerson, a Hallmark veteran, has a custom greeting card to soothe a bruised ego. We reveal the winners of our campaign jingle challenge, and look at the new breed of mashup videos making politics into entertainment.
