"O", as in Obama Team.

Those who can't break free of identifying themselves on ethnic ties and skin color. Not everyone is like that. Case in point: Cool-funny Republican in the video. If I remember correctly and am not seeing things, he's...um...black, isn't he? And a strong McCain/Palin supporter. In fact, I don't think you could find a better, more positive campaign ad aimed at young people (and of course, for all age demographics), than this video. Cool.
