Knowing the US (especially the South), I'm very worried that if Obama gets the Dem nomination, then he'll lose for the simple reason that so many people would rather have a white man as president (McCain). Fucking messed up, but too true to ignore... I've heard way too many people say that they won't vote for a black man (or some proxy reason).
I'm also concerned that if Obama, in fact, wins the election... that some racist asshat is going to assassinate him during those 4 years. The US is just that depressing, when it comes down to it. We MIGHT be ready to elect someone who doesn't look like John McCain (white man, regardless of his policies or anything else), but I'll believe it when I see it. I'm just too cynical about the US to believe that we're truly ready for this kind of revolutionary change.
However, if McCain does somehow end up getting elected, I'll gladly continue living in Iceland with my dual citizenship. I can't bear the thought of living under 4 more years of Republican rule.
