If we debated more on things besides politics we probably would agree more often
As for John McCain, yeah. I don't even know any other Republicans that are going to be running this year, or atleast popular ones. You never hear about them, its very odd; McCain was suppose to be the shoe in at the Republican primary until his shit got blown up like you said.
I suspect that 90% of the U.S. has heard of Hillary though. She will be getting a huge percentage of the vote based off of that alone. I really really like Obama. I consider myself quasi-racist because like everyone else I have generalizations about black people; the thing is I don't consider Obama black because he doesn't meet those generalizations. If he wins the primary I am voting for him and will get my family and friends to vote for him too. As you said, he commands respect, he has a strong vibe, and just in the way he talks, is very intelligent. He is on a mission and knows what he is doing, he gives the impression of the "ideal" American so to speak. What I like the most is he wasn't wishy washy with his words. Although right now he is just trying to win the party vote and not convince all of America, you can see exactly where he stands. And if he does win, it won't be because he is black, or because he is popular unlike Hillary, it will be because of what I just mentioned. I also wouldn't mind Edwards winning the primary, JUST NOT HILLARY.
As an education critic, I know just how few role models black kids have. All of their non-white role models are sports stars, so having a black president they may pay more attention to politics and try and immolate him instead of someone like Michael Vick, Barry Bonds, Latrell Sprewell, et cetera. When suddenly it becomes cool to go to school and get an education and still be as bad ass as Obama, these kids may get some motivation outside drugs and gangs. America needs somebody like Obama as president right now!
