I am not American (or in the US) - but my view, from a distance is that:-
a) Hilary ain't gonna be President :tongue:
b) Obama is simply a snake oil salesman (kinda like our Tony Bliar), he don't stand for anything apart from him climbing the greasy pole and once in power he will be like Bush - does what he is bl##dy well told to do. He simply has not been in the power game long enough to build up his own connections / have the dirt on enough people. So he has had to "rent" his connections and for that their is payback or consequences from bouncing the cheque. and payback ain't all about money.
c) Old Man McCain?. He ain't Moses (not quite old enuf!), but for America having someone in charge who others know is not afraid to wield the big stick will probably mean no need to. In any event he won't allow himself to get b#tt f#cked into any Wars like Bush Junior did and Obama is likely to.
But on the economy both have the same challenges and the same pool of talent to draw on. In any event both will have to continue the Bush policy of ass kissing China so they keep taking the IOU's......let alone start cashing any in :ohmy:
If I was McCain I would go for Condi Rice as VP (can he choose anyone? or just someone elected?). Given his age likely she would end up as Prez. I think a Black Lezza would certainly trump a Hetero Homeboy in the game of "Race Cards" :tongue:
