    Nothing new

    Despite what some might think, folks in the States really are this shallow. Doesn't take anything away from Sen. Obama, it is just the way it is. Just like relative attractiveness of 'mature' men vs. 'mature' women (think 50 years old). Perhaps someday we will get past this, but I doubt it.
