  Simple - people voted on and are harping on color because the majority of them aren't educated on the politics behind ANY candidate. Because of this you get people voting on intangible promises, and potential historical moments.

  Couple that with the fact that people wanted to swing as far away from the Bush led Republicans and you end up with the victory for Obama.

  The democratic process still boils down to a popularity contest when it's all said and done. It's an imperfect system because there's no way you can expect your average voter to educate themselves about the issues.

  It's how big government stays in power. The same people are still running our country - just the name changes. Wake up America.......wake up :(
