My president

Yeah, the parallel with Kennedy is creating the hype.

Spalladino, I agree with you. Although I wish they would give more coverage to McCain, they are helping a little in letting people know what Obama stands for. And it also catches all those flip-flops from day to day and mis-statements. We have learned he is going to ruin us in taxes, and he will stop the Bush's tax cuts. The military will be brought home promptly, and the terrorists will then come to us. And I like his way of being president - he'll just call in a committee to make the decisions when he doesn't know what change he wants to make. People have heard the word 'change' come out of his mouth, they aren't paying attention to the changes he's going to bring to us.We could be in for a long 4 years!

And I forgot to say he in no way is like JFK, other than being a 'first' to run for President.

Hi Pearl, I wish you the very best in this election.

The most exciting in history? Well, I'm not sure about that. However, I would agree that this is the most interesting one in recent times. This is an election with many "First" (First woman, first black, first time we've had no president or vice-president running) and I think we have the two most interesting candidates in memory running for President. Although everyone has been talking about Barak Obhama, I think John McCain is also interesting. The man is old and if elected could be one of the oldest men elected to the presidency since Ronald Regan in 1980. However, despite his age, McCain is an exceedingly feisty character and he's had a long history of speaking his mind. Unlike Bush and Clinton, McCain has actually fought in war and therefore has the credibility to take "tough" positions on certain foreign policy and security issues. McCain also has a reputation of taking on vested interest that have been regarded as his party's main supporters - think of campaign finance reform. A McCain Presidency could be very interesting. I also think that the interest in Obhama is more than just media hype. Not only is his colour and age interesting - I think his "lack of experience" could be interesting. So far he's turned that into a strength and managed to wage a very disciplined and successful campaign. He would also make an interesting president. I think what's interesting of the candidates is that neither of them are from established political families (Bush, Clinton) and both are considered outsiders to their party main streams. What could this do? Well, I for one think that both men could bring a fresh approach to tackling some of the more pressing issues like security and terrorism as well as the current problems in the economy. Let's see how they present their cases for the presidency.

Hi Tiger.Nice to have you here. Its a good analysis. Very well said.Would you say that it would be a close fight? Something like the Thrilla in Manila of Ali and Frazier.

You bet. Full speed ahead.

I will cry too. I'm sick of the high gas and food prices! I'm sure that the rest of the world is as well.

lol If thats the case, well, few things will change.

Hi, Its sad to hear that. I just hope that the media wont go to far to feast on it. We are talking of a country's future here. The electorate should be vigilant. Taxes are really killing us.
