hmm. please explain.
especially since lindsay wasnt a democrat in those elections.
well although Lindsay was a republican then, I would say Obama and Lindsay weren't that different. Obama reminds me of him in the sense of him being somewhat of a reformer and coming from an Ivy League background and detractors of them saw them as ivory tower types. Also it seems that Obama and Lindsay both won election by racking up margins among the "exotic" types. In Lindsay's case the exotic types were the immigrant class in the south bronx and the trendy "hip" group in the silk stocking upper east side.
