What do you think makes Barack unelectable? I see him as quite electable. Of course, I also see him as Jesus Christ incarnate, so perhaps I'm a bit biased.

I'd have to agree...he's actually one of the more moderate, less divisive candidates.

And Hillary, well, I don't see her being elected either. But I see her getting the nomination, easily. That'll be one ugly election.

Honestly? He isn't white.
He's also too young and too new. But I guess I'm voting for him now...

Technically, he's as white as I am...

He was just so brilliant when he came to speak. He was better than Clinton (Bill), and Clinton was pretty brilliant.

I wouldn't consider you white enough to get elected president, either, but we're not actually speaking technicalities. Since when does the US public do technicalities? Since Iraq was technically involved in 9/11. His name is also rather foreign-sounding.

I know he's brilliant. That may well help. I'd be all for it in maybe ten years, when the US grows up a little bit more and he's no longer 99th out of 100 in terms of seniority. Then, again, people are comparing him to JFK. For that matter, someone's grandmother (it may have even been Maddy's) commented that if he ran, someone would shoot him...
