Chongo is extremely male, John. He's as masculine as Humphrey Bogart combined with Chuck Norris. You can't get any more masculine than Chongo.

People already HAVE accused him of knuckle-dragging, poop throwing, and monkeying around. They have accused him of these things frequently, and that just goes to show how our society is still riddled with specism of the worst sort. People think their jokes about apes and monkeys are funny, but they're not funny! They're outrageous and demeaning examples of bigotry of the worst sort.

It will take a lot more enlightened souls like Renata Carson to turn things around, but if we can get a REAL chimp into the White House this time it will cause a sea change in people's attitudes. After that I think we can move forward and put all this kind of gross stereotyping behind us.

Chongo is prepared to reach out to every demographic out there in a way that is inclusive, not divisive.

It has been a confusing election for people who are concerned about these issues of fairness and equality, because after all you had a strong female candidate in Hillary, a strong candidate of mixed racial heritage in Obama, and a strong primate candidate in Chongo. Thus progressive people everywhere have been torn between these 3 very progressive candidates, not knowing which one they should give their support too.

In a way, it's too bad that Chongo and Obama could not join forces now, run on the same ticket, and bring all their supporters together in one grand rainbow coalition that would leave John McCain comatose in the dust! But I don't see that happening, because I doubt that Obama would be willing to run as Chongo's VP. He hasn't given any indication that he would.
