The same way Hillary is popular because she's a woman.

I don't really understand why he's popular, much of what he advocates conflicts with his actual voting record. He spoke out against the Patriot Act then voted in favor of reauthorizing it, he cannot commit to withdrawing the troops out of Iraq by 2013, possibly later.. He hasn't ruled out using strikes against Iran, not to mention the same vote he criticizes Hillary for, he missed himself and sponsored the exact same legislation designating the IRG a terrorist organization in back in April.. He implied that he would invade Pakistan, without the consent of their government.. He made votes making it more difficult for average citizens to sue big corporations.. He has no consistency on the issues of social security and taxes, in the very beginning he was for raising the cap, then having all options on the table, then appointing a bipartisan commission, now he's back to raising the cap.. He receives contributions from lobbyists, corporations and interest groups, despite his denials..He promises "change" but he has neither the substance, the experience, nor desire to deliver this change..

The content of his character COMPLETELY obliterates the color of his skin.
Is he black or something?
I hadn't noticed.
Peace.

No; he's actually very smart, an excellent speaker, has excellent people around him, and his opponents have all ticked off more people than he has.

Why someone who will not wear a flag pin, won't pledge allegence to the flag and won't use the bible to be sworn in be popular in the first place is beyond me.
