Jenny Craig. In the most intriguing "political ad" of the season, Monica Lewinsky's commercial for the Jenny Craig diet sure beats the ad with George W. Bush in a sweater.

Kennedy. What would an election year be without the Kennedys. Two are running for re-election this year: Ted and Patrick.

Late-night TV. A campaign can be won or lost on the late-night TV talk shows--remember Bill Clinton and his saxophone on Arsenio? Already, we've seen Hillary on Letterman. Can other candidates be far behind?

Manchurian. In the 1962 John Frankenheimer film The Manchurian Candidate, a former POW war hero is brainwashed and becomes an assassin in a Communist plot to take over the presidency. John McCain is known in certain circles as "The Manchurian Candidate."

November. The presidential election will be held on November 7, 2000.
