    Yes, it's lip-synced from "Les miserables" the musical.

    Here's a brief article from Huffingtonpost.com about it:

    The latest political viral video sensation is an uplifting and ambitious musical number that's inspiring Obama supporters and bringing out the worst in McCain fans. Les Misbarack was directed by JD Walsh, founder of the Los Angeles improv troupe Ultimate Improv and features actors from the group.
    Les Misbarack shot to prominence when popular blogger and Obama supporter Andrew Sullivan posted it with the cryptic comment "Whatever happens, the McCain campaign could never pull this off. Patience, steel... triumph."

    I thought they were actually singing. Avishai, what's the source of the lip-synching info?

    Here's the website for Ultimate Improv--I didn't see anything that indicated they weren't singing & they had the clip on their site.

    Did you notice McCain and Palin in it? It was so funny!

    What tipped me off that they couldn't really be singing is that I saw the guy with the cup in his hand almost start to take a drink of water while his mouth was wide open "singing". He started to, then hesitated. It caught my eye. (He was in background at the time.)

    I loved it. Just another example of people becoming involved in the process.

    Whether your blue or red, Dem or Repub, correct or horribly, horribly wrong... you should vote and make your voice heard!!
