So if anyone thinks Obama might be too nerdy, I assure you, the fella he's running against is a million times more annoying.

As a blogging librarian who writes anime slash fanfiction in her spare time and is currently writing this comment on a MacBook named Kouga, after the main character in a tokusatsu drama, I know this: I look forward to the day when my president is complete and utter nerd. Because on that day, I will once again have a president with a functioning brain, and it will be a glorious thing.

Let's also not forget that Steve Urkel was an insanely popular character. He wasn't even supposed to be a recurring character, but he was so popular that they made him one.
So, yeah...I say this theory is a crackpot one.

Srsly. Nerds may/may not be hot right now. But the alternative would be like listening to the shreiks of hell on 11. What a bullshit, bullshit article.
Raaar.

I don't know if "nerd" is even used too much anymore. Everything is geek, which I admit was the label I self-identified with in school. Lettered in orchestra, ran the school paper, worked behind the scenes in theatre and played video games (before they hit their second wave of coolness)... but, to be honest, the stigma isn't really there anymore. Especially with everyone rocking glasses now, even with perfect eyesight, I don't know if the nerd label is meaningful anymore.

John is the rich boy douchy king of the campus with his Mean Girl Princess Cindy. But he sometimes swings with the crazy party girl cheerleader Sarah from the other side of town.
Barack is the nerdy one that John and his friends pick on. Yet since everyone hates the class bully, we're all ending up voting in the nerd for president.
And Hilary was the know-it-all that ALL the boys hated?
Now who gets to be Mr Belding?
And CLEARLY I am procrastinating...
