Election Horse Race

2008 is very significant: election year in USA, and Olympics in Beijing!
Political news usually outshadows real issues in America, such as devastating weather across the country. At the first showdown in Iowa, Obama and Huckabee won. Look at that percentages: the winners both win just little over 30%! There is not too much to be happy about. Look: 7 out of 10 people didn't vote for the winners. In NH, Clinton and McCain won, also at percentages in the 30s. It is hard for any single candidate to stand out in either party.

America has had it with the Bush administration. I think the 2008 election belongs to the Democrats. So your pick is: Obama or Clinton (I don't think Edwards and others have any realistic chance to win). Both Obama and Clinton will be remarkable for US History: first African president or the first female president! The world is watching the election year like a horse race.

Will we have a real strong leader with at least a simple majority support? How come the country is so divided?
