Strange thing is, I'm not sure if he'd get away with it. America MIGHT be ready for a black president (we'll see, soon enough), but they're not ready for a federal approval of gay marriage... I'd say not until his second term at least, if he gets that far.
I am also against offshore drilling, but I'm hoping that his endorsement of that really is just pandering... and that he'll pour resources into building up alternative energy. But we'll see.
