Hallelujah! So apparently the American Dream is alive and kicking again. What a relief. When CNN declared Obama’s historical victory, I was drinking $12 Obama-mamas and hitting on future Hillarys at some limousine liberal party in Midtown.
I couldn’t wait to hear Team Maverick’s concession speech. If Barack’s moto was “Yes We Did” I could only assume that McCain’s chant to America was “No You Didn’t!” While McCain tried to redeem his public image by bullshitting a masterfully crafted congratulations speech, I couldn’t help but imagine what he really wanted to say. So I thought I’d take this time to say it for him…

You already know everything there is to know about Presidential Candidates John McCain and Barack Obama and their VeePeez Sarah Palin and Joe Biden (seriously, you’ve watched almost every episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report AND Saturday Night Live for like the past two weeks). Reading a few more propagandist leaflets while you wait on an historically long line to cast your vote will do you no good, so why not take the opportunity to pick up chicks?
With this in mind, Complex presents an analysis of all different types of female voters, from the far right to the far left, and how you can stuff their ballot box on Election Day. Fuck politics, it’s time to poll-a-trick!

Where will you be on election night? After all the speeches (*cough* battle raps), debates, and yesterday’s never-ending infomercial it all boils down to Tuesday November 4th. One thing’s for sure, you don’t want to be alone as the votes get tallied when the win goes to (___).
With that in mind, Complex brings to you one big blowout party hosted by renowned journalist Kevin Powell (former Real World: New York cast member). The festivities will go down at club Element in New York’s Lower East Side with music provided by DJ Beverly Bond, and DJ Misbehaviour. Until the biggest Super Tuesday ever, get hyped on the full flyer below…

If you frequent the streetwear blogs, it’s hard not to notice the overwhelming support for Obama. Undrcrwn and Upper Playground are just two of the many brands who have created popular T-shirts featuring the Democratic candidate, making Barack as big in the label-loving crowd as Hiroshi Fujiwara. But what about John McCain? Old people can't get down with streetwear?
In order to introduce the Maverick to the limited-edition T-shirt set (and restart his “suspended” campaign) we churned out a set of five McCain T-shirts that might have the Hypebeast crowd switching sides come November. Check the Old G. O.G.'s first range of tees below…

So Mr. Foreign Policy, John “Warhawk” McCain, showed his septuagenarian ass this week in a radio interview by 1) confusing Spain’s prime minster, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, with a Central American dictator, and 2) not admitting his mistake and instead letting his campaign imply that he’s actually taking a tough stance toward Spain, a NATO ally. Now THAT’S a dickbag who’s clearly not fit to serve maverick.
But while he’s clearly wrong in his stance (his campaign’s acting hardbody because Zapatero pulled Spain’s troops out of Iraq when he was elected), there are a few things about Spain we wouldn’t mind wiping off the map…

Amidst weak debates and back-and-forth tussles to take home Pennsylvania's primary championship belt, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama made time to tap into the WWE's fan-base for a short P.S.A. Full of past and present WWE clichés, Hillary adopted the wrestling alias of “Hill-Rod” while Obama asked fans if they smell what “Ba-Rock was cookin’.” Republican nominee John McCain also took place in the awkward triple-threat attempt at pleasing the wrestling faithful by not only pronouncing Barack wrong, but also doing the worst rendition of Hulk Hogan's “Hulkamaniacs” shtick ever. We're hearing crickets, but see for yourself after the jump.

If elections were decided by pop culture buzz, Republican candidate John McCain would be dead last. After Barack Obama went viral with a little help from Obama Girl and will.i.am (and Hillary supporters put out their lame attempts), it seemed as if Republicans were still struggling to figure out this whole “U-tube” thing that the kids have been talking about.
Well, thanks to three pleasantly plump ladies known as “McCain Girls,” the straight talk express may be going digital. Check out their remake of the Weather Girls’ “It’s Raining Men,” now called (what else?) “It’s Raining McCain.” Hallelujah!
