A lot of African-Americans in the early stages of the primaries went for Hillary because they believed that the idea of a black president is impossible. Let's hope they were wrong to start with and were right along with millions of other Americans who can vote this gifted, brilliant statesman in the making to power.
Obama is not a miracle-man, and I don't see anything on his policy agenda that will reverse the erosion of America's position in the world. McCain has the better tax plan, and I think that with Obama in the Whitehouse, the recession would be aggravated and longer than it would be under McCain.
McSame is a spoilt brat who never grew up. A guy who spends $250,000 a year on housekeeping across his string of properties (8? 10? 11? 12?) isn't bothered about the taxes that ordinary folks pay. McGrimace never grew up, and is always trying to live out his youth fantasies. Sugar Daddy anyone?
Obama is a smart guy, allied with smart guys. McSame is an ignorant medicrity assisted by a fundamentalist whacko, whose team consists of shady fixers and lobbyists. It's clear. Reaganism and conservative voodoo economics got us into this mess. McSame will make it worse.
Obama is a protectionist and seems to have latent anti-globalization inclinations. These things would not be good for India.
McCain is a longtime outsider among Republicans, and has more claim to the political center than Obama does. The McCain-Feingold Act that bears his name is a testament to this.
From what I see, Obama is the European candidate. He's getting a free leg up by the apex of the white establishment -- the Europeans. They are the ultimate old boys club, and they strongly resent a lower-caste white guy from the American South (Dubya) and his AfAm SecState (Condi) deviating from the Euro-first foreign policy agenda.
In that context, I see Republican maverick McCain as more of the outsider/underdog than Obama is.
Democrats are the party of Wilsonianism, and Wilsonianism despite all its enlightened worldly pretensions has always been about putting the interests of certain Europeans first.
