I have never seen so much fuss made over a preliminary phase in an election campaign. Someone from the Democrats has to oppose the Republican nominee who wants continued presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. In the meantime fuel coasts are increasing in the US and there is no end in sight. So most likely there will be a continued involvement in those troubled regions, as Americans will be swayed into maintaining their troop involvement.
One wonders how Obama will fare without any real experience compared to Hillary who has the experience of being both a senator and working behind her husband. My estimate is that the Republicans are likely to win because they are dedicated at keeping America safe from terrorism. Obama will likely appeal to a more peaceful population wanting to concentrate on issues at home that will help to restore American pride and dignity. One wonders if will obtain a majority of votes from the black population seeing that some of their leaders are pro-republican.
