[Ghoulish Delight]

Both Obama and McCain are lefties. So as it stands now, there's a very good chance that the new President will be a lefty. Depending on if you count Regan or not (he wrote with his right hand, but it's widely believed he was among the many of his generation forced to switch when young...might explain his somewhat odd way of speaking), that would make either 4 or 5 of the last 7. Significantly out of proportion with the percentage of lefties in the population over that period. However looking at the full history of the US, prior to Ford, there had been only 3, so the current run is just making up for decades of under-representation.
