The upcoming presidential election is probably the most important ever for U.S. healthcare policy. Kaiser has an excellent web site, Health `08.org with video clips, backgrounders, and articles designed to give even the laziest, most apolitical voter one step access to the presidential candidates' visions for U.S. healthcare. For a video of Obama's healthcare speech, click here. For access to the site, click here.

More on the election front - Columbus, Kentucky, (pop. 229) is fighting for the mantle of "True American Rural Town" in an online contest for John Edwards' visit and has launched an ad against "rural imposter" Eureka, CA, (pop. 40,000). Does Eureka really make apple pie with French canned apples?! Click here to watch video. (This silliness courtesy of Justin Kazmark of Morris+King Co.).
