Anything can happen between now and the nominations being decided. But Obama winning some primaries in white electorates is testimony the KKK America of bigots like George Wallace is now history. America has come of age and has conquered racial prejudice-a lesson to many diverse societies. But the Cans of Worms will be opened in due time as the race gets tougher.The New York Times predicts Clinton will get the Democrat nomination and McCain-the Republican. Oprah endorsing Obama may send the fence White voters to Clinton.

The Irish Royal family of the Kennedy’s endorsing Obama could eventually benefit Clinton – Irish themselves as the Kennedy move smacks of personal prejudice.

If someone is to remind the American voters Obama’s name is also Hussain that can work against him. Still, as someone argued Hillary Clinton is not “inevitable” The late Christian
Evangelist Folley told a story of Chelsea going to a US base to cheer some young Americans about to emplane to Iraq and when she asked them whom they fear most the answer
was “Osama, Obama and your Mama”

That cannot be very re-assuring to the Clinton camp. Anyway, the celebration of democracy is once again on in the US. They will soon decide
if they are ready for a somewhat inexperienced Black US President and probably a Black woman VP or a White educated woman who has been in the White House for two terms. Anything is possible in the Land of Opportunities such as a man called George Bush (Jr) staying the course for 2 whole terms and still, admittedly, unable to pronounce “nuclear” Voila

While the media is focused on a democrat victory I think nominating both Obama and Hillary will make the US election close to call.

If democrats opt for Hillary (which I think is personally better for the world but is unlikely to happen now) then McCain and the republicans probably will win the election! If democrats opt for Obama then things could be very interesting. Obama while inspiring has some bad ideas on economy, etc.

If I were republicans then I would choose Mittney if Obama wins the democratic nomination and choose McCain if Hillary gets the nod of the democrats.

Personally I feel while the 2000 and 2004 elections were won by religious coalition the 2008 election would be determined by the young and liberals.

I shared the following para with my colleagues, in my office in NYC, and they commented it’s a very well said observation of the two leading democratic contenders:

“Senator Clinton, former First Lady and wife of President Bill Clinton, is eminently qualified to enter the White House in her own right, but having been the front runner for over an year, her campaign suffers from appearing to be a little too choreographed and managed. Senator Obama, on the other hand, is a fresh face on the political stage and capable of oratorical flights that are a fusion of Robert Kennedy’s inspiring idealism and Martin Luther King’s verbal cadences. Obama’s weakness is that his spontaneity comes with the sense of being a little too green and a little too much in a hurry for the big office”

Obama has a very strong wave across US and a has a big chance after the SC vote on 26th Jan. He is running without the support of Washinton lobiests. Has different ideas on war in Iraq and other bigger issues.

The big heads in US capital do NOT want a woman as well as Obama (african american). It will be a war against people and agencies, I feel. It was fair up to date.

Many people in US feel a repeate of 1960, where John F Kennady is termed a new version of US. Obama raised from zero and currently leading in democratic party. I think Feb 6th we can see the final list.

We need to save the world from the extremism which is currently ruling. Mc Cain from republican party supporting Bush anyway.
