In this video clip, Jon Stewart introduces the mainstream Democratic candidates, their "theme songs" and their "strategies."

Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) is shown being presented as the theme from rock opera 'Jesus Christ Superstar' plays. "That's a little on the nose," kids Stewart.

The 'Daily Show' host also features a "humble-off" between the candidates as they talk of their struggles in childhood.

It's a lot more syllables, but it sure reduces your exposure to sexual harassment liability.

21. I don't use the word at all...
my wife informed me that it is the king of all insults for women, so it's not even in my vocabulary.

4. FCC can't fine him
He's on cable.

FCC only has jurisdiction over broadcast providers.

10. For those who missed my clever point, the forbidden word was "Clark"
Only non-threatening candidates are to be hoisted by the media...

12. I suppose 'clever' is in the eye of the beholder ...
It is sometimes best to just simply come out and say something ...

20. Come on
I am a clueless old, bad eye sight and I got it. A "C" word never, ever to be spoken by Stewart would be the other "C" word. He has too much class. :) :) :) :)

16. Brian Williams already broke that taboo
during NBC Nightly News coverage of the DNC Winter Meeting.

Clark is getting plenty attention, considering he didn't announce yet.


Let's all find ways to show our support for Al Gore! :)

Read Rolling Stone magazine: WHY GORE SHOULD RUN -- AND HOW HE CAN WIN
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/13248532/why_gore_should_run__and_how_he_can_win

Get ready for Al Gore's next book - The Assault on Reason - out in May!
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/16/AR2006091600877.html

PS - Make a date with Al Gore on the David Letterman Show, CBS, Feb 14th!

Visit the following pro-Gore websites:
