"Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby." -- H. L. Mencken
A democracy is 3 wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch. That's why a pure democracy is rightly called "mob rule". We are supposed to have a republic, but the damned collectivists keep trying to take it away from us by converting elections to being decided by "popular vote". So, we have current attempts to alter the Electoral College's (EC) selection of the President. The EC is the mechanism by which the states elect the President rather than the people's popular vote. Elimination of or alteration of the EC will take us one more step toward pure democracy (mob rule).

I never heard of Senator Obama either, until he had been campaigning months for President.
Do not count this guy out.
