There is a 100 percent chance today that the state of New York will go to Barrack Obama in today’s presidential election, and an excellent chance that Obama wins the election overall, but not because the people have made their decision, but because Puff Daddy is the most powerful man in the world, according to Puff Daddy. The AP says…

After spending much of the presidential campaign season using his star wattage to get other people to the polls, Diddy, like other celebrity political boosters, spent the day leading by example.

Diddy said he believed he was potentially making history by voting for the first black president in U.S. history, and also felt the weight of the past in the voting booth. "I'm not trying to be dramatic, but I just felt like, Martin Luther King, and I felt the whole civil rights movement, I felt all that energy, and I felt my kids," he said. "It was all there at one time. It was a joyous moment."
Well I sure do feel silly. I thought maybe Diddy was making his choice for superficial reasons, but no, like, Martin Luther King and feeling his kids. And energy. He just made me look like a fool.
