Senator Obama--Oh, my god! I'm so nervous. I still can't believe I'm actually talking to you...OK: As you know, uh, Senator, as I explained in the letter that I duct-taped to your front door--and I'm sorry that it went on so long. I just, uh, I just really, really, really, really, really want you to be the next President. And not just because you're a fantastic human being and the only person who can turn this nation around, but, you know, also because deep down I really and truly believe that it is destiny that you and I will one day be together. That you will become a part of me, and I a part of you. Joined as one.

--Parodical Univision reporter, panelist and "Obama stalker" Jorge Ramos

While not sparing either contender entirely, Saturday Night Live took an opportunity to humorously suggest a Pro-Obama bias among those conducting Thursday's CNN debate, at the University of Texas, between major Democratic presidential candidates Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL).

The entire sketch, available to view below, was aired on NBC's Saturday Night Live on February 23, 2008.

Huckabee on SNL: 'I'm not a math guy, I'm more of a miracle guy'

Even though Mike Huckabee is still battling for the Republican presidential nomination despite long odds, he said Saturday he won't "overstay his welcome." Then he did precisely that, lingering on the "Weekend Update" set of "Saturday Night Live" despite repeated cues to leave the stage.

The former Arkansas governor appeared in a "Weekend Update" segment in which he described his confusion over whether it is mathematically impossible for him to win the nomination over front-runner John McCain. After anchorman Seth Meyers explained the numbers, Huckabee responded: "I'm not a math guy, I'm more of a miracle guy. So at this point I'm gonna focus on the miracle part."

However, he said: "Mike Huckabee does not overstay his welcome. When it's time for me to go, I'll know. And I'll exit out with class and grace."

Then he remained seated at the "Update" desk even though Meyers made it clear it was time for him to leave.

"SNL," known for its political humor, has been on the sidelines for nearly four months because of the Writers Guild of America strike. The political landscape has changed a great deal since then, with easy targets for the show's satire, like Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, dropping out of the Republican race, and Barack Obama overtaking Hillary Rodham Clinton on the Democratic side.

The last time NBC broadcast a new episode of "SNL," on Nov. 3, Obama played himself as a guest at a party thrown by Hillary and Bill Clinton. McCain hosted an episode of the show in 2002; Giuliani hosted in 1997, when he was mayor of New York City.

This video is from NBC's Saturday Night Live, broadcast February 23, 2008.
