The past couple of weeks have been very exciting in the Election run. We have seen, in both parties, candidate who is not popular within his party, is running ahead in the primaries....is more popular among the public - yes, I am talking of John McCain and Barack Obama.
Looking at the Republican party, we see Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee and John McCain fighting for the party nomination. In my view, John McCain is a better candidate then Mike Huckabee or Ron Paul. He is a determined fighter, does not easily give up on his views, separates his religious views with what is better for the country, conservative, experienced in Foreign Affairs and quite popular among voters.
And at the Democrats camp, we have Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Both are good orators, but Obama has the extra gift of attracting people with his words. Hillary Clinton has the experience behind her, as First Lady and as Senator for many years, while Barack Obama is a very fresh Senator. Obama knows what's going on in the world and that one of the most important thing a President should do now, is to improve the image of America in the eyes of the world population. But Clinton has not shown this sight. But its a tough fight between them. Obama has won more primaries and won more pledged delegates than Clinton, but Clinton has more superdelegates. Theirs is an interesting match - a fight between one who wants to be the first African-American President and the other who wants to be the first female President. From between both of them, as of now, I am leaning more towards Obama for President. But lets see what the public have to say.
I will soon give more details of whom, from each party, will I support and why. Till then, lets enjoy the debates and watch the primaries
