If this great nation can elect a black man, with a highly unusual name, then we can finally turn the corner. The reality is that Obama could transform politics as we currently know it. I'm actually a Hillary fan, but I'm starting to come around to the idea of BO as a real chance at change.

The question is if the change will be more than skin-color and unusual- name deep.

4. Voting for BO because of his color is racist. And as far as usual names...
we've had a few presidents with them. Millard Fillmore and Zachary Taylor, for example -- both lousy presidents.
