Did the TV show "24: pave the way for Barack Obama to become President?

Question

Being that the show had a black president that was well spoken

Answer 1

I hope an independent candidate.

Answer 2

no. that show did not pave his way for presidential candidacy.

Answer 3

I'm sure it didn't hurt.  Let's hope he doesn't have the same fate as the President on "24."  BTW, "24" is a great show and I can't wait for it to come back (assuming Kiefer Sutherland can stay out of jail long enough to film the episodes).

Answer 4

I would hope not

A TV show should never have that much influence

Answer 5

Politicos have been putting his name forward as a presidential candidate ever since he first ran for a seat in the Illinois state legislature. The president on "24" was written and cast as a black man because Barack Obama was already considered presidential.

Frankly, any adult who would vote for any presidential candidate simply because a TV show had a character who was like the candidate, isn't intelligent enough to vote.

Answer 6

It certainly may help in his campaign, but I don't believe it paved the way for him.

Answer 7

LMAO!!! Are you serious...if you are then the answer in no.
