  All right, all right, all right. Hillary and Political Nanny have just returned from a very fun playdate with a very special friend of Hillary's. Yes, yes, yes, Political Nanny was just saying Barack has the coolest friends, and it's true: he does. But Hillary has the weirdest ... and we like weird. Weird is good.    VIDEO AFTER THE JUMP  Read More...

• Barackula! -- Obama's Story as Vampire Musical

  Though Democratic delegate counts are nearly tied, there is a clear frontrunner in terms of candidates who inspire a large contingency of creative types: Barack Obama. He's got the girl, the buzzy star-studded video, and now he has his own musical.   Read More...

• Who Loves You, Campaign Baby? (Rambo, Porn Stars and Writers, That's Who)

  Running for president is not a popularity contest. Oh, wait, it is! And just like high school this competition hinges on the backing of other popular kids. This year's election has been a veritable Endorsement Bonanza. Everybody is getting in on it, no matter what their relevance levels, which, in Political Nanny's estimation, peaked somewhere between 1983-1989 for most. Read More...

• You Vote Like a Girl

  Oh, ladies! You fickle registered voters! You suffragists with a soft spot! Illogical! Emoooootional! So (once in a while) devoted to your Grrrl Power!   Read More...

• Ultrasound Canceled! It's Still the First Trimester

  If only we could hold a sonogram wand against the belly of this election beast, the sex of the next president, and the size of his/her win, could be accurately predicted.   Read More...

• Primary's Baby: N.H. Girl Stalks the Candidates

  You can tell a lot about a presidential candidate by the way s/he holds a baby. OK, not really. But we're going to deeply analyze it anyway. Why? Because it's fun, because it's naughty, because Political Nanny wishes SHE would have thought of doing what this forward-thinking and shameless contributor to Slate has done.   Read More...

• Use Your Words: This Election's Label for the Voting Baby Mama

  How will campaign strategists and the label-loving media lump together voting mothers this presidential election? Mercifully, “soccer moms”  and their white sneakers are no longer the go-to stereotype for all women with kids. (Mrs. Beckham's heels and British passport wrecked that cliche.)   And that trembling “security mom,” who clutched child to breast and gave every dark-skinned air-traveler the once-over, seems also to have exited the stage. Here’s my guess:       Read More...
