No because McCain had that daft woman with the screechy voice as his running mate. oh oh now I´m going to be accused of being sexist now as well.

Obama was mainly elected due to his charisma, apparent intelligence and calm capable manor. But there would have been a lot of people who would have voted him in just because of his colour, yep believe it or not there are thick people in the USA who would vote for such a reason.

I could be totally off, I got most of my election coverage from the debates.

like, there was never any question about his stance on military bases, oil, and contractors. I always thought people just imagined him being anti-war to that degree

Here's a list of promises made and whether or not they were kept.

Check the "top 25" for the promise you're referring to.
