You know the role 'Seven of Nine' played in getting Barach Obama elected? She helped him become the Senator from Illinois.
He was a state/local politician who had never served in Washington DC. He offered to run against Jack Ryan, a young Republican investment banker (rich) who was 'retired' and teaching school in the ghetto. Jack and 'Seven of Nine' had been married and divorced. The divorce proceedings were sealed in court, 'for the kid's benefit', but people kept digging. He swore before nomination that it was all good. He had financed some minor films for 'Seven of Nine'. When the court records came unraveled, it was reported the divorce was precipitated by Jack taking 'Seven of Nine' on a romantic get-away to Paris...where he wanted to do some performing with her at a live sex club. She said NO, as she had to other such requests and filed for divorce. Of course, this was no good for a Republican candidate for the US Senate, not with a 'Family Values' platform and all. After about 3 weeks of pressure, Jack resigned the nomination. No other Republican would take it, and party leaders brought in a Black conservative radio personality to run, Alan Keyes from New York. Duh, the voters saw right thru that and elected Obama to the US Senate with a landslide margin. So the unknown state politician with big ambitions and no record to speak of became one of the top 100 elected officials in the USA. I like Obama, but he really out performed Jack Kennedy in his rise. And like Kennedy, much of it was based on charisma and future versus voting record. Regards, Bob S.
