Living Color were prescient, weren’t they? Great tune, but now I’ve got an earworm.

“Among young people, Barack Obama appears to be beating John McCain in the battle for “cool.””

They also preferred Kerry as well as Gore. A lot of good it did them. I think the mediacrats just recycle the same BS and rename the candidate.

Stoopid kids, impressed by sizzle, judging politicians by the standards of entertainers.
I still maintain they don’t vote in anywhere near the numbers anticipated.
Anyway, the frisson of “cool” is a highly changeable phenomenon, apt to dissipate at an arbitrary point when the “cool” disappears or migrates to another.

Sadly voters care about image above substance. We need to find (or invent) a marketable “cool” conservative.

Hopefully there will be a drop in the price of weed and Obama’s younger fans will let election day pass them bye.
