If you are the 44th President of the United States…you might be a nerd? Nerds, long regarded as uber-intellectual, social outcasts are enjoying a popular acceptance unknown since before “Revenge of the Nerds” made nerd-pride cool. Technology nerds are creating the world’s most popular social-networking sites. Director nerds are endearing us to the oft-ridiculed high school nerd. McLovin anyone?
