Quick '08 Update

- First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE BIDEN! It's not often that I'm doing a roundup on a candidates' birthday, so there you have it. On a campaign-related note, Biden announced his energy and climate plan today in Iowa. Also be sure to read Biden's op-ed in the Des Moines Register on ending the war in Iraq, and check out "Joe is Right" if you haven't already seen it.

- The Presidential candidates are posting on VetVoice.com about issues veterans, their families, and their supporters care about. All campaigns were contacted. Six Democratic candidates posted, one Republican, Congressman Ron Paul.

- The candidates have also posted responses to WhyTuesday? As part of the Why Tuesday Challenge, the candidates are giving their views on the voting system.

- Dennis Kucinich has some advice for you: never leave home without a copy of the Constitution.

- John McCain received a big endorsement yesterday from Tom Kean, former Governor of New Jersey and 9/11 Commission Chairman.

- Former U.S. Senator John Durkin, the last Democratic Senator from New Hampshire, endorsed Chris Dodd.

- It has been a while since Duncan Hunter appeared on the update. That changes TODAY! In this new ad, Hunter discusses giving soldiers good jobs upon their return.

- Hillary Clinton has a lot going on: yesterday in Iowa she gave a speech on America's Economic Challenges, she has a new ad up in Iowa and New Hampshire entitled "Joe Ward", and be sure to check out "Machine", which is running in New Hampshire. Senator Clinton is also the top candidate with which most people would want to share Thanksgiving dinner.

- Fred Thompson isn't doing too well in New Hampshire, according to a new poll.

- John Edwards, who appeared on Face the Nation this past Sunday, joined the WGA on the picket line at NBC.

- As if you thought the Chuck Norris endorsement of Mike Huckabee wasn't enough. The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, endorsed Huckabee as well.

- Barack Obama delivered a major policy address on education today in Manchester, NH. This of course builds off of yesterday's announcement about Obama's agenda to strengthen America's community colleges.

- Rudy Giuliani has a new ad out entitled "Leadership". Also be sure to read a recent article from the LA Times which covers Rudy's sentiment on nominating conservative Supreme Court Justices in an effort to court the Federalist Society's endorsement.

- Stephen Dinan from the Washington Times takes a look at the types of people behind Ron Paul's impressive fundraising drive.

- Mike Gravel - who, thanks to PrezVid, revealed his Xbox gamertag - was not at the Las Vegas debate. So he decided to set up shop, sit on a stage, and commentate during the debate. Check out the video below:
