Tuesday I wrote about an ATV/Zogby poll that showed McCain had increased his support among young voters by 20% while Obama lost 16%.  Now The Atlantic is reporting that when it comes to pop culture, McCain might actually have more in common with our generation than Obama.

The Republican presidential candidate tells Entertainment Weekly he enjoys Dexter, a quirky drama about a loveable serial killer, that his wife enjoys Big Love, about polygamist Mormons, that President David Palmer on 24 is the model of a tough TV president, and that, if he could be a superhero, he’d be Batman because “does justice sometimes against insurmountable odds. And he doesn’t make his good works known to a lot of people, so a lot of people think he’s just a rich playboy.”  Oh, and McCain likes Usher….

…And check out the music that Obama likes — Frank Sinatra and Coltrane — and the sitcoms that Obama enjoys: M*A*S*H and the Dick Van Dyke show.

Wow.  M*A*S*H and Dick Van Dyke?  For a candidate who says he’s all about change, it sounds like Obama is stuck in the past.
