Love Hurts

On more than one occasion, my girlfriend has pointed out that given the chance, she would leave me for Barack Obama. And to be honest with you, I don't have a good response to that. I can't really compete with the good senator from Illinois, though I am happy to say she hasn't left me yet.

Unfortunately, it appears that Rachel Keller's former boyfriend actually went through with it, kind of. She's recently posted a video on YouTube describing her experience fighting with Obama for the attention of her (now ex-) boyfriend. Speaking recently with Politico, Keller, 27, said her former boyfriend became "all wrapped up in the campaign" despite the fact that he was just a health care consultant and had no connection with the Obama camp or politics. "I'm your average girl who likes Us Weekly. And I read the headlines in The New York Times, sure, but I'm not as in-depth as that. And so there were times when he wanted to go canvass Ohio and I wanted to just hang out with my friends."

Needless to say, the relationship didn't work out, but Keller has become a mini-Internet phenomenon with her video "I Got Dumped for Obama."

She says she doesn't talk politics with her new boyfriend.
