Five years back if someone told me that a 47 year old African American first time Senator with the middle name "Hussein" would become the President of the United States of America, I'd say the odds of aliens attacking us are better!
But then yes,if you'd told me about blogs and email and cell phones when I was 10,I'd probably react the same way :D
Just makes me wonder what surprises life has in store for us ahead.Even my wildest dreams and the most of atrocious of my imaginations cannot match the rate at which life throws out surprise after surprise!
As California bans gay marriges again , my favourite tv show abruptly gets rid of a gay character,
and India furiously debates about gay rights my gut feeling says that I might just live to see the United States elect a gay President one day...Well,I'm no Nostradamus but yes, if it happens I'll be shouting from the rooftop that I saw it coming ;)
Ah, wish I could do a Hiro Nakamura and find out if I'm even close!
PS - Sant Chhatwal thinks its only a matter of time before an Indian American runs for President.Now,THAT is one to watch out for!

Obama won 'cause he ran a well thought out campaign. His skin colour was no issue. He is an educated and brought up with Christian ethos and is charismatic and young.
No doubt Obama had a good campaign..but I wouldn't agree that race wasn't an issue.According to CNN the divide among African American voters was 96-4 in favour of Obama.
