PD was back on Fox this morning unveiling our first-ever 2008 Veep Rankings. Full rankings will be online this weekend, but get your sneak peak in this short clip. And while watching be sure to ask yourself, “Is Jason’s mother Cuban or is he wearing a ridiculous amount of makeup?”

Watch Jason discuss the new rankings (revealed exclusively on FoxNews) and his unfortunate flashback to his high school years.

And if you’re a real junkie, click here to catch his last appearance from Jan 5th where he used the words “back rub” and “John Edwards” in the same sentence.

Today Jason discussed the difference between reality and perception in the 2008 horse race. A few of the candidates got short changed, but the bottom line is simple: The candidates are all about perception. How you perceive their personal history, resumes, and policy positions is much more important that the reality. Like it or not, that’s what wins elections. Image, image, image.

This morning Jason discussed the latest 2008 Power Rankings and took a shot at Michelle Obama and Elizabeth Edwards. Come on people, it was 6:40 in the morning, enough with the hate mail!

Jason appeared on Fox & Friends this morning and revealed PD’s first ever VP Pony Rankings. Unfortunately because of breaking news, the segment was condensed at the last minute. What Jason didn’t quite have time to say is that SC governor Mark Sanford has conservative credentials that the top-tier candidates would die for. If given a shot as #2, and it’s not clear he’d like the job, Sanford would become an Obama-like rock star among the GOP grassroots. They’d eat him up.

As for the democrats, former VA governor Mark Warner is an obvious #2 for much of the same reasons as Evan Bayh. (No, it’s not Jason’s fault Fox misspelled his name on air.) Warner would immediately bring Virginia into play, and everyone knows it’s been trending blue anyway. Enjoy the clip. It’s probably the only time the “DC Madam” makes the VP short list.

After a month layoff to reconnect with his inner-child and mow the grass, Jason was invited back to Fox News this morning to discuss the latest on campaign 2008. Catch the clip below. (The new power rankings he references are due this weekend.)

Somehow Jason was invited to appear in-studio for today’s Fox & Friends segment. They discussed Jason’s new book (the other reason he was in NY) and the latest rankings.

Shortly after this interview Jason was in a car (cab) accident on his way to the train station. Coincidence? We think not.

This week’s Fox & Friends segment was bumped from Wednesday to Friday. Today Jason discussed the impact of the immigration compromise on the GOP race and the prospect of an independent run by Mike Bloomberg and Chuck Hagel.

And watch for updated rankings soon.

This week on Fox & Friends Jason was asked to discuss the second-tier horses on both the Left and Right. Catch the 3-minute segment below, and watch for Jason to begin appearing every other Wednesday during the 7:00 AM hour.

As always, if you enjoy the regular PD appearances, consider dropping a note to friends@foxnews.com. We need all the help we can get!

Finally, kudos to PD Deputy Editor Stephen for yet another smashing radio appearance this morning on The Big Show in Michigan, syndicated state-wide.

This morning on Fox & Friends Jason discussed a major shakeup in the rankings (update due later today) and Stephen’s juicy gossip about Fred Thompson.

This week Jason discusses the Edwards press conference, the rankings, and the prospect of Fred Thompson joining the race.

This week Jason discusses Rudy’s Teflon campaign, McCain’s mojo, Hillary’s confidence and Dean’s “trial balloon.”

Watch Jason discuss Romney, Rudy, McCain and CPAC 2007.

On this week’s Fox & Friends segment, Jason discussed Rudy’s surge, the battle for #2 with McCain and Romney, and the tightening race between Hillary and Obama.

This week on Fox Friends Jason covered Rudy’s rise to the top of the 2008 Power Rankings, Obama’s personal campaign to quit smoking, Dr. Pepper, and the Dirtydiapercan Party’s 2058 presidential nominee.

He was bound to have an off-week eventually, right? (Keep telling yourself that, Jason.) This morning on Fox he gave some attention to the 8, 9 and 10 horses in each party. (He also looked like a deer in the headlights at one point, enjoy!)

Interesting discussion on this morning’s Fox & Friends. (Edwards, Kerry, Kucinich and the rise of “Apple Geeks”) Enjoy!

Are you so bored that you literally have no other worthwhile activity to occupy the next three minutes of your time? Then you’re in luck. Click here or below and watch Jason make his case for Apple Inc.’s Steve Jobs and former Secretary of State Colin Powell as 2008 “dream horses”. And don’t tune out before FoxNews’s Steve Doocy refers to Jason as “the horse whisperer of politics.” (hmm, we see t-shirts coming soon…)
