I don't buy it -- the argument is that all the Dems are basically the same, so vote for the brown one because the rest of the world can identify with him... it's a weird ploy.


Their policies are not all that different. So for many people it comes down to intangibles.

It's not just that Obama is "brown", it's because he appears to have a more "worldly image" compared to the other candidates.

Who do YOU think would be the most popular choice outside this country? It's not the over-riding issue, but it is an issue after the harm that Bush has done. It's something to consider... and frankly I hadn't thought much about it until I read the article.
