I don't think it will, and anybody who tries to make a big deal out of it will come off looking like a dickhead. He also spent 7 years at one of the top schools in the country (Punohou, meaning he has lost the vote of the Kamehameha High block; but could provide the country with a connection for really good malasadas).
I am very intrigued by Obama. I need to know more about him on various positions, but it would be nice to have a serious candidate that both isn't a retard and inspires people (Dean, in my opinion, failed on one of those counts).
So far, of the accounced and likely candidates he is the only one I have much interest in.
