The iPolitic shufflePrognosticating what Steve Jobs announces at an Apple event is practically a sport these days. We hear that in Vegas, bookies are already eyeing the spread and everybody from Mac pundits to mainstream journalists have been issuing their thoughts, predictions, and most heartfelt feelings.

So it’s little surprise that the folks over at The A Daily Show have thrown their hats into the ring, with a handful of suggestions on what Vinnie Jobserino might introduce for each of the political candidates in this year’s run for the White House. We know that politics and technology don’t always mix, but the Indecision 2008 fellows certainly seem to know their Mac history.

iBid 20.08 for Joe Biden, Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd, Tom Tancredo, Tommy Thompson Sadly, we can confirm that this rumored product will not be making a debut tomorrow. Like the Newton MessagePad 100 and the Power G4 Mac Cube, some things that seem like good ideas at the time just aren’t fated to capture the consumer’s imagination. Even the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field couldn’t save it.
Zing! RDF, Cube and Newton references in the same paragraph? What’s the matter, couldn’t find a way to work Mac clones into the mix?
