WASHINGTON, (AP) -- Forget the war for the White House for a moment. Among young people, Barack Obama appears to be beating John McCain in the battle for "cool."

"Obama is a tad cooler than McCain on probably 57 fronts," said Emily Goulding, 25, of Los Angeles. "Obama's better looking than McCain, Obama's more stylish than McCain, Obama's more fit than McCain. He refers to better music than McCain."

I head that on RUSH this morning...

Clicked on your link, I think I’m going to be sick.

It's creepy, all right.

He's just so...cool.




And what a lovely couple, too.

"Rock the Vote" proved that young people NEVER VOTE! Did affleck ever register to vote... he admitted that he was not registered while promoting mtv's crap and did not vote in 2004! They are lazy and too busy playing to hassle with something like voting... I mean you have to perform jury duty. They pay lip-service to voting, like osamabama in the backseat of a crack-smoke filled limo!

Can Obama make a jukebox turn on just by hitting it with his fist? Don't think so. Can Obama jump over 17 trash cans on his motor cycle? Not a chance! Fonzie for Prez in 0 "AHHHHHHHHHHHH"T

Would you please stop insulting a high school freshman’s mentality. Please get it right. People magazine readers (on average) have a second-grader’s mentality. Thank you. :)

Youth is wasted on the young. Many of these lefty student types are so bereft of real historical understanding that they would support Mao and Ho if they ran in the USA. Sorry, but I will take the senior citizen vote over the youth vote any day.

Yeah, and young people find Miley Cyrus cooler than Clemenza. Why should I care?

Can Obama Jump the Shark? YES HE CAN!!!

[Tijeras_Slim]

I’d worry if you did. ;)

I gave up trying to be cool somewhere around the time “Nevermind” was released and I cranked up my Strat through a Marshall to impress Jaime P. Didn’t work. ;-)

Well, since the geniuses are right there with him in thinking there are 57 states, etc. are we really to be surprised in that the ‘young people’ who are more warped than ever and out of control at younger and younger ages are so easily taken by such a fool? Like I say, America is terminal because of these idiots.

Tuvok and the Black Jane Fonda ?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Wait ‘til she grows up and starts looking like Karen Black.

[Clemenza]

Well, as long as he doesn’t do a remake of “Day of the Locust”, she should turn out OK.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Then again, in another 20 years, she could weigh a deuce and a half, look like her daddy in drag and be regaling trailer park audiences with her cheetohs and Bud version of “Achey, Breaky Heart.”

(Then again, it took Britney Spears less than 5 years to go from hot to holy crap WTF !?! not, and her baby sister bypassed hot and went right to pot)

What’s so shocking that young people find a forty-six year old sexier and more hip than a seventy-one year old? The fact is if Obama looked and sounded like fellow far-leftist Dennis Kucinich, he would never have gotten nominated.

When I hear comments like this, I can clearly understand why at one time, only land-owners had the right to vote. They're the only ones [land-owners] with a real stake in their country.

"Adlai Stevenson was cooler than Ike, too, but he lost big."

And Fidel Castro's campaign of "change" was made to look wonderful by the MSM ...and he won!!!

[CatherinePPP]

Unfortunately, it’s true that we ended up with a candidate who is not, well, he isn’t the most charismatic candidate we’ve ever fielded. McCain is not exactly Ronald Reagan, you know?

Still, Obama is such a weak candidate that it shouldn’t matter.
