presidential campaign

I'm usually not interested in politics but i'm interested now. I'm following who's winning, what state there in, who's the people running. I personally what Barack Obama to win because he seems like he would makes alot of things better in the U.S. , he probably won't win though because so many people in the U.S. are racist and wouldn't vote for an African-American to win but it be cool to have the 1st African-American president. Another cool thing about Obama is that he and I share the same birthday (Aug 4th). It is also interesting that he is the only African-American currently serving on the Senate.
