Plus, there is a narrative to everything that can be interesting to follow. If Obama gets in he will be swept in on the arms of history and expectation only to eventually be hated by the majority of people that voted him in. The same thing will happen to just about anybody because people love the figures until they are actually in control of their pockets. It is watching the downfalls the will come to every leader that gets interesting.
Take the UK at the moment, watching who gets the daggers planted deepest into Brown's back is a bit like a soap opera but better than those on tv to folks like me. Peter Mandelson is a character that could have been written by Dickens with the way he can't be sunk and comes back from the political dead time and time again to haunt the government.
