They fear Obama's too hot!

Sen. Barack Obama's combination of charm, good looks and pure star power may be growing so potent that it's overwhelming ... Obama himself.

A story in the upcoming GQ magazine suggests that even as the Illinois Democrat rallies crowds of thousands and rakes in cash for his primary battles against Sen. Hillary Clinton, his campaign worries that he's getting too ubiquitous for his own good.

"Obama's aides fret that his fame is diminishing him. They struggled for weeks before deciding to agree to let him grace the cover of this magazine," writes author Ryan Lizza.

Obama has presented himself as the standard-bearer for a new age of politics, riding a populist theme of hope into the top tier of Democratic candidates.

11. If they are worried about his looks/charm, why would

they let him pose for GQ? Seems like a bad choice. Wouldn't it be the equivalent of Hillary posing for Voque?

[TwilightGardener]

19. Hey, the guy cannot help it that he has charm and class and charisma.

[Grandrose]

20. I say go for it....Hot. Is. Good!

"Hot" voters to compensate for those concerned about his so-called "inexperience" and "naivete", we want all the votes we can get! Tweety will not be pleased!:rofl:

21. Oh help me L-rd.....With all

this free publicity and Obama is losing support means exactly what? He is like a comet that blazed the sky for a few nights and just like that, he fades.....Sorry, but experience will count this time and the American people will not put someone in the presidency they feel is unqualified or experienced, and Obama fits both.....Sorry...

I do thank you
