Add MARIAH CAREY to the list of musicians who are supporting BARACK OBAMA. In the new issue of Elle magazine, Mariah says she connects to the presidential hopeful on a personal level, because they're both bi-racial. She tells the magazine, "I can relate a lot to so many of the stories he tells. Clearly, I am not the political analyst of the ages, but this is something that hits me on a deeper level than anything I've ever experienced growing up."
