The election

As of now Obama is the runaway leader over McCain. After so much politicking and so much money over a period of 2 years or so. I personally have no preference. Main issues like the American economy, health care, war in Iraq etc etc in this election do not directly affect me in any way and I am less informed on other issue that may affect our country, so to be objective I dont have any preference. But based on his seemingly more open view of the world, being exposed to a lot of different cultures especially Islam... there is hope that Obama is going to be the one who is gonna change Americans view on terrorists and the Islamic World. And also during debates he just looked such a superior person to McCain, he is so eloquent that sometimes I have doubts whether hes just BSing his way through, like many BSers do or hes just a super smart man. And I just can't imagin Palin being VP. Her only having her passport done like 2 years ago is so American.... I have known quite a few during the Michigan years who had not been out of Michigan! This is one American thing that I totally cannot understand.... cant imagine that someone is settled being under the tempurung without any curiosity to see the world, meet other people etc.
