Things on my mind.
1) I recently saw a broadcast of Barack Obama on Jay Leno and he used the word "peeps" to refer to his "people," obviously. Do you think candidates have the freedom to laugh and joke about particular stereotypes in the public eye, or does that hurt their reputation?
2) What do you think of the Stephen Colbert presidency bid?

1. Obviously candidates should joke. It's what makes them human and it thereby increases their popularity rating.
2. You know, of course, that it's a joke - as for the fact that he is ahead of several candidates in the poles that suggests either that Americans have a delightful sens e of humor when being polled or that they have NO GRASP OF POLITICS WHATSOEVER. Or maybe a little of both. Either way, it's nothing to take seriously.

It's not surprising that Obama would use the word 'peeps' to refer to 'his people'. For ages political candidates have done and said awkward things to try and relate to a wide array voters. Obama pretending to be black is just one example.
