How Seven of Nine saved Barack Obama's Presidency

My all-time favourite bit of Obama trivia is still this: In the 2004 Illinois U.S. Senate race, Obama was pitted against the wealthy and popular Jack Ryan. But then his divorce papers were unsealed wherein his ex-wife, one Jeri Ryan, alleged that he had dragged her to sex clubs. Embarrassed, Jack Ryan dropped out and was replaced by crazy Alan Keyes, and the rest is history. There's nothing Seven of Nine can't do.
