Although McCain has been trying to use President Obama's celebrity status as an attack, it is not working! President Obama is loved and respected around the world wince his travels, and he will win the votes of many because of it! Obama being a celebrity means he can get more done, and use his "looks" and rhetoric for good! Vote Obama 2008!

Every country will open their eyes to see that coming day. But for the people living in USA, do u get ready?

Looben, I realize living in china, you do not get to choose your leaders, however, if you are ever be able to, I honestly hope you don't choose them based on Race or gender.

Every major U.S. Presidential candidate is a celebrity. Non-celebrities don't get to host Saturday Night Live (which McCain has done).

And Al Gore was a Pres. candidate too. You're helping to make my point. :P ANYONE who is a major candidate for President in the U.S. will basically AUTOMATICALLY become a national and international celebrity. Also, the idea of attacking someone for their celebrity, which is basically attacking someone for being well-known, is just so ridiculous on its face that I just can't take seriously anyone who would treat it as if it was some kind of inherent FAULT.

Please!!!, when Obama didn't choose Hillary for his "veep' all bets for him becoming president faded so much for a so-called progressive party them demos blew it...Now on the other hand John McCain seen the errors of the demos ways and took advantage of their error and choose himself a female "veep" Ensuring his presidential success in Nov. before he didn't have a prayer of becoming the "Prez"....
