when the Dem’s had their race, I did not think he could
win the election there is too much racism in the US-not
that I think 50%+ of Americans are racist, but let’s face
it some people would vote Rep for other reasons so a black
guy would have less chance, I also think that it could
help bring out the racist vote -- then again racisms could
work both ways. But I think it was obvious that he would
win for some time before the vote (and if he did not,
I am guessing many would be asking some serious questions).
After the debacles of the past administration, many people probably voted Democrat just because it meant not voting Republican.
As for thumbs up or down. My guess is that he would be
better. Palin scared the sh!t out of me, but McCain was
not that bad, just not sure if he had the right vision.
As for Obama, I kind of like the guy and if I was in the
US I would most likely vote for him, but I am not sure
I trust him. There is something about the way he talks
that make me wonder if he is a good sales man or someone
that knows what he is doing. It also seems (maybe I have
the wrong impression) that he is the type of person that
is willing to say anything to get elected, and that would
mean that it is hard to know what he will do once in office.
I definitely think he knows what he's doing. Very well organized and very thought out. He seems to go beyond his promises and actually craft a plan as to how he will address various issues. That's something I did not see from the McCain campaign.
