Some netrooters have launched a campaign to push retired General Wes Clark for the Dem VP spot; Capitol Hill is all abuzz with an on-going Republican protest that's being live-Twittered/Qikked/blogged; the hashing over of John McCain's tech-savvy continues; Germans are checking out McCain's "Celeb" ad, but they might not be enjoying it; and so much more that it would take a dozen tweets and three Qik accounts to contain it all.

As reported by James Kotecki, Wesley Clark has started to produce videos for his website, stopIranWar.com.

Giuliani's video closet: PrezVid's Peter Hauck has some advice for Rudy: "Buckle Up, It's Gonna Be a Bumpy Ride."
