JOHN MCCAIN - M.I.A. WILL LEAVE U.S. IF MCCAIN WINS

M.I.A. WILL LEAVE U.S. IF MCCAIN WINS

British rapper M.I.A. has vowed to quit America if Republican presidential candidate JOHN MCCAIN wins next week's (04Nov08) election.
The Paper Planes hitmaker, real name Mathangi 'Maya' Arulpragasam, is fascinated by the history-making election and is throwing her support behind MCCain's opponent, Democrat Barack Obama.
But if the Illinois senator fails to win enough votes to get to the White House, M.I.A. will take the first plane out of the U.S.
She says, "If MCCain gets voted in, then I'm outta here quicker than anyone can say Obama.
"I'm here because it's an interesting time. It's important to be here watching and saying to people, 'Look, your country has been so dumb for eight years. If you f**k up one more time, that's a whole generation of dumb people.'"
The star is engaged to New York singer Ben Brewer from The Exit, and the couple is expecting its first child next year (08).
