John McCain is voting for Barack Obama - and he looks like him, too.



Only this McCain is Johnathan B. McCain, a Brooklyn-based musician, not the Republican presidential candidate.

"I travel to Europe a lot, and a few people have said I look like Obama," said McCain, 40. "When people ask me my name, I always say John McCain, like the senator."

McCain said he's never used his famous name - or his striking resemblance to the Democratic presidential candidate - to get a good table in a crowded restaurant or get out of a parking ticket.

The combination has gotten him on talk radio shows around the city, though.

"Once I mention that I'm interracial and my name is John McCain, they put me right through," he said.

McCain said he's toyed with the idea of turning the tables on gullible Republicans by holding a fund-raising dinner under the name "John McCain."

Then, when everyone is seated, McCain said, he would step out onstage with a wide smile on his face and declare, "Barack Obama thanks you for your contribution."

McCain said he first became aware of the Arizona senator when he voted against making Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday a national holiday.
