Elections

I think many Americans elected BO because he is black. In the past people could have voted for a black man despite his color, and it is progress (and before that would not or could not vote for blacks etc). But when will people ignore the color altogether? That will be something.

His alternative was quite unfit for the purpose. I am very surprise that it was the best the republicans could do. Don't they have anybody normal (looking and speaking)?

ууу... у них были и Ромни и Руди... и еще Маккейн выигрывал пока не позвал Сару. Республиканцы явно и открыто сдавали выборы. Всеми силами. Почему - не знаю. Но они с трудом, но добились своего. Сдали страну демократам. Очень хотелось-бы понять зачем.

They would have had Huckabee as a candidate if he had as much money as McCain during primaries. Follow the money.

Silly but true I guess.

I am not sure at all. I remember how they all rose up when McCain mentioned his service (in a speech about the Woodstock rock festival: "I could not be there, I was tied up at the time"), and then I thought: aha, here he is. And indeed there he was.

Of course I may be mistaken about the mechanism that worked there.
