So where’s Cuauhtemoc?
Barack Obama. Rahm Emanuel. All we need now is a Cuauhtemoc roaming the halls of the White House. Seriously, it is quite an exciting time to be living in the U.S. as some people with some uncommon names are on the verge of assuming tremendous power.

Politics Unusual: Media and the making of a President.
Not since the Kennedy-Nixon debates has media played such an important role in a presidential election. The Internet, the new kid on the political media block, is proving highly influential in everything from fundraising to myth busting. To track the interplay of candidate web buzz, political advertising, pundit programming, entertainment parodies, convention and debate coverage requires an integrated, multi-media view.
