Note: As long as there have been dorm rooms, there have been dorm room posters. Some of these posters have more staying power than others, however, and many of them have grown to be so popular that it’s literally impossible to visit a college campus without seeing them.

Paul Begala: Please, Democrats, Attack
Note: FTP:"The way to unite and internally divided organization is to identify an external threat. The Obama delegates will be buying beers for the Clinton delegates once they're focused on how disastrous a third term for Bush-McCain would be. But no one is telling them. If the Democrats do not spend the remaining days of their convention -- hell, the remaining days of the campaign -- in an all-out assault on the ruinous Bush-McCain policies, they will lose.

Zachary Karabell: Obama's Convention Danger
Note: FTP:"His best hope is to make a great speech and then get out of town and back on the road, treating the convention as just another stop along the way.
