If you are going to pump this "This guy should be your leader" stuff, at least try to justify it.

I agree. He hasn't done much. Unfortunately looks and charisma can get you further with the general public though. I do think he would lose though simply because older people tend to vote and it is sad to say that I know many older people that still would not vote for a black man. I don't think that the majority would vote against something simply because of that but I think the percentage is high enough to make a considerable difference.
