Not that it should be necessary, but just to underline the point: Yes, I am voting for Obama.Yet something is amiss.He doesn't stir me in any way shape or form. It's more case of he's the Democrat, I vote in Wisconsin, Wisconsin is generally a swing state, so voila.Yes, I understand the importance of the first African-American nominee. I'd be a fool not to note it, but where is the genesis of the hype?

But after a strenuous treatment he now is a multi-year survivor who has turned his experience of battle and survival into music. "My past is my past and a lot of our new album is about that," McMahon explains in an interview. "But it is also about trying to write myself ...
