Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., takes the stage with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., at a campaign event in Unity, N.H., Friday, June 27, 2008, their first joint public appearance since the divisive Democratic primary race ended. 'Well, Unity is not only a beautiful place as we can see, it's a wonderful feeling isn't it? And I know when we start here in this field in unity, we'll end on the steps of the Capitol when Barack Obama takes the oath of office as our next president,' said Clinton

Barack Obama is on the cover of Rolling Stone again! So soon after the last one. And just one week after he showed up on the front of publisher Jann Wenner's UsWeekly! In fact, if you have a magazine, you have probably put Barack Obama on the cover. It's summer, so nothing is really going on besides Batman and this Barack Obama character. Does anyone without a pair of breasts sell so many magazines? Did our prettiest president even get this much ink until he tragically died? Attached, a composite of the media maelstrom.

lesser of 2 evils

Obama winning over former Clinton supporters
By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — Barack Obama has won over more than half of Hillary Rodham Clinton's former supporters, according to an Associated Press-Yahoo! News poll that finds party loyalty trumping hard feelings less than three weeks after their bruising Democratic presidential contest ended.

The poll suggests time is beginning to heal some rifts from the primary campaign and that the New York senator's endorsement of Obama carried weight. The poll was taken in the days after Clinton suspended her campaign and said she was supporting her rival.

Obama's progress with Clinton supporters is marked, yet far from complete. More than one in five who had backed the New York senator now plan to support Republican John McCain in the fall, a boost for McCain if those opinions hold.

"We still have work to do," Obama campaign manager David Plouffe told reporters in a strategy briefing. "Democrats are consolidating behind the nominee as the choice in the election is more clear and as the contest fades. Time is our friend here."

Obama's outreach to Clinton supporters picks up this week. Clinton planned to introduce Obama to her financial backers Thursday night in Washington, and the two will campaign together for the first time Friday in New Hampshire.

"I want her campaigning as much as she can," Obama told reporters Wednesday. "She was a terrific campaigner. She, I think, inspired millions of people, and so she can be an extraordinarily effective surrogate for me and the values and ideals we share as Democrats."

The Obama campaign also has encouraged supporters to host "United for Change" house meetings with supporters of Clinton and other candidates on Saturday. The campaign says over 3,000 are being planned across all 50 states.

The AP-Yahoo! News poll, conducted by Knowledge Networks, is part of an ongoing study that tracks the attitudes and opinions of a scientifically selected group of more than 2,000 Americans to see how their political views evolve over the course of the campaign.

The poll found 53 percent of the Democrats who favored Clinton for the nomination two months ago now back Obama for president. That's an improvement from April, when only 40 percent of Clinton supporters said they would back Obama over McCain.

"It wasn't a difficult decision � I was a lifelong Democrat," said 55-year-old Susan Gates of Massachusetts, a former Clinton backer now firmly in Obama's camp.

Gregory Scheetz, 56, of Barstow, Calif., said he wanted Clinton to win because of her experience, her intelligence and because it's time to have a woman in the White House. But he said he moved to Obama after Clinton endorsed him on June 7, even though he's a registered Republican.

"I feel that he can bring change," he said. "There's people in our country that I see need help. They're slow about getting it, and it just seems that Republicans are taking a different direction."

Twenty-three percent of Clinton's backers picked Republican John McCain over Obama. Of the rest, 16 percent were undecided, 5 percent were for independent candidate Ralph Nader and 3 percent said someone else.

The poll suggests the Clinton supporters are wary that he has enough experience to be president. Just 25 percent describe him as experienced, and that drops to 5 percent among those former Clinton backers who are not supporting Obama.

The poll responses also show Obama has more work to do to quell fears among voters like Kirstie Hartle of Rome, N.Y., a registered Democrat who has never supported a Republican presidential candidate. With Clinton out of the race, Hartle said, "I'm Republican all the way now."

She said she doesn't like Obama's name and thinks he has a questionable background. She also said she thought Obama was deceitful when he broke from his church after it hurt his campaign, and she doesn't trust him to handle the Iraq war.

"It sounds to me like a Middle Eastern type of name and whether or not he's born here in the United States, he doesn't seem like, to me, somebody who is trustworthy," Hartle said in a telephone interview. "You can't trust anybody these days, so who's to say he's not a terrorist and we just don't realize it yet?"

When asked an open-ended question about the first words that come to mind about Obama, some former Clinton supporters used words like Muslim or terrorist. Those misconceptions have been fueled by Internet rumors that point out his name is Barack Hussein Obama but otherwise lie about his background.

"I refuse to vote for an Arab to be in my White House," said retired salesman Dean Johnson of Lanett, Ala. "That is the only factor. Otherwise, you couldn't break both my legs and make me vote for a Republican."

The Obama campaign has been addressing the rumors with fliers distributed at churches, a fact-checking Web site and a television ad about his American roots. Obama is a Christian who was born and raised in the United States. His father was from Kenya, but left when Obama was a toddler and he was brought up by his American mother and grandparents in Hawaii.

Sixty-year-old Ann Burkes of Broken Arrow, Okla., said she has a "gut feeling" that she doesn't trust Obama and is leaning toward McCain because he is more experienced. But she said all that would change if Obama picked Clinton as a running mate.

"If he chose her, I would be back in a heartbeat," Burkes said.

The poll found that choosing Clinton as No. 2 would appear to be a wash for Obama's candidacy. Overall, 28 percent said they would be more likely to vote for the Democratic ticket if Clinton were the nominee, 25 percent said they would be more likely to vote for the Republican ticket if Clinton were the nominee, and 47 percent said it wouldn't make much difference.

It would help more among former Clinton Democrats, with 68 percent saying they would be more likely to vote for the ticket if Clinton were on it.

Former Clinton supporter Jeannie Azzopardi of Ashland, Ore., said she would love for Obama to pick Clinton but she doesn't expect him to and will support him either way.

"I seriously doubt that everyone who supported Hillary Clinton would vote for McCain," she said. McCain is "in direct, direct opposition to everything she stands for."

An analysis of Clinton supporters who are backing McCain shows they are more liberal than the Arizona senator on the issues. The majority favor removing troops from Iraq as soon as possible, a single-payer health care system funded by taxpayers and repeal of Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy.

The AP-Yahoo! News survey of 1,759 adults had an overall margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.3 percentage points. Included were interviews with 844 Democrats, for whom the margin of sampling error was plus or minus 3.4 points, and 637 Republicans, with a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.9 points.

The poll was conducted over the Internet after pollsters initially contacted people using traditional telephone polling methods, following up with online interviews. People chosen for the study who had no Internet access were given it for free.

would u buy?

eh. good job?

Coldplay lands its second straight #1 album as Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends opens at #1. The album sold 721,000 copies in its first week, just a shade less than the group's first-week tally with its previous album, X&Y, which bowed with sales of 737,000 in June 2005. Coldplay is the first act with back-to-back albums that topped the 700,000 mark in sales the first week out since Kanye West did it with Late Registration in 2005 and Graduation in 2007.

In just one week, Viva La Vida has become the #10 best-seller so far in 2008. If it holds up through the rest of the year-and it probably will-it will become Coldplay's third straight studio album to finish among the year's top 10 sellers. A Rush Of Blood To The Head, released in late summer 2002, was the #10 album of 2003. X&Y was #6 for 2005.

blame that bitch denise

Heather Locklear is seeking treatment for psychological issues at an Arizona facility, her publicist has confirmed to People.

"Heather has been dealing with anxiety and depression. She requested an in-depth evaluation of her medication and entered into a medical facility for proper diagnosis and treatment," Locklear's rep, Cece Yorke, told the mag. "This is a confidential medical matter and no further statement will be released."

Heather, who is divorced from her rocker husband, Richie Sambora, had begun dating Jack Wagner, her former "Melrose Place" costar. Didn't they make a cute couple?

Frankly, I think poor Heather probably watched too many episodes of her husband-stealing former BFF Denise Richards' reality TV show, "It's Complicated."

Like maybe one. Which is enough to plunge anyone of us into the void.

Our condolences go out to Heather. Take your time and get the help you need.

gawker's guide to the weird ronsons..

The Ronson family, comprised of DJ/Lindsay Lohan dater Samantha, DJ/producer Mark, fashion designer Charlotte, and a wacky socialite Mom and rock-star stepdad, is "not like the Kennedys," in the words of son Mark. And he's right! They're fairly bizarre, and they're everywhere. Samantha's already converted Lindsay Lohan to kissing girls, and Mark is going around telling stories of sleeping over at Michael Jackson's house when he was a child. After the jump, a brief guide to the family that would let their kid sleep over at Michael Jackson's.

The matriarch, socialite/writer Ann Dexter-Jones, is a rigorous and shameless self-promoter. It's not an accident her kids are mildly famous! As someone told New York magazine, she's "society with a small 's', the kind of person Nan Kempner thinks it's terribly amusing to know." The kids grew up with stepdad Mick Jones of Foreigner; they're recently divorced and she told the Observer last year she was living in the Bowery Hotel. (She "forgot" to look for a house.) She's also a reiki master!

Samantha, 30, a DJ: Her most recent claim to fame, of course, converting her friend Lindsay Lohan to lesbianism. "I have no idea why the media is interested in us," she told New York at 22 years old. "But as long as I'm makin' loot, it's all good." She's the part-owner, along with Chris Noth, of New York nightclub the Plumm, and has a band.

Mark, 32, a DJ: He grew up in London down the street from the McCartneys until age 8. At 14, he got an internship at Rolling Stone. (Jann Wenner's wife was friends with his mom). He started DJing professionally as a senior at Collegiate prep school. He's been labeled a "trust-fund DJ" by the Observer but even Jay-Z concedes that "Nigga is sweet." He bought a $1.8 million apartment in Greenwich Village two years ago and used to be engaged to Rashida Jones, Quincy's daughter. (Now he's dating Gavin Rossdale's long-lost teenage model daughter, Daisy Lowe.) He's also a music producer and has won three Grammys.

Charlotte, 30, fashion designer: Samantha's twin sister and sort-of socialite has her own line ("Charlotte C. Ronson"), and a Manhattan store. She graduated from NYU. She had a little run-in with Page Six years ago where she accidentally smacked her friend with her car and he needed over a hundred stitches, but hopefully those days are behind her. However, Page Six did say she recently avoided teenage soap star Leven Rambin at a party recently because she had made out with her brother, Mark. Guess Mark likes the young ones?

a huge lost

I was a big fan of Tim Russert I got up every Sunday to watch "Meet the Press" faithfully. His death will be a huge lost not only for his family but for politics. I cant imagine this year's election coverage without him.
