That's not really true, either. The country is pretty much evenly divided. The last few elections have been extremely close.

I never realised he sounded so much like Elma Fudd.
Quote: catskillz @ September 1 2008, 2:06 AM BSTEveryone goes on about Obama being good looking, but is he really?
No. He's shifty-looking, slimy, and untrustworthy. I wouldn't let him buy me a pint of milk.
I don't fancy him, but in some pics he looks quite handsome. In others not.
I think it's just the politician thing. Most are so fugly, a normal looking one stands out.
And he comes across to me like a nice, intelligent person. The anti-Bush, if you will.
Barrack's preferable, but isn't he just a black Tony Blair? All style and very little substance. That said, I hear he's got a great sense of rhythym.

I saw on Foreign Correspondent that some Republican heartland voters are planning to turn out for Obama... interesting?

Nobody got anywhere without some shameless self-aggrandising bastardry.

McCain was a naval aviator. They take great offense when they're mistaken for Air Force pilots.
Ah. In that case, don't look there. 
Obama's main selling point to white America is his skin tone. Classified as a black person, he is light brown. Now, if he was boot black like Mugabe he would have no chance of being elected.
If he were like Mugabe, his policies might also let him down.
