The real "change" in this election is first Obama, then Palin. Call
me an over the hill or a fogey, but I personally like experienced old
men for the presidency - McCain and Biden both have the goods and are
over qualified to be presidents . But I'm confident, in our celebrity
crazed age, we will eventually elect Obama for president primarily
because of his youthful look, charisma, and style. He also
communicates well, commends people's respect, and his inpirational
fiber can motivate the laziest person. We have seen people who have
never voted before expressing their interest in voting for Obama. He
makes a turkey believe that it can fly like an eagle and whether you
believe it or not, hollywood has taken over politic? The McCain team
realized it. That's why they resort to Palin as their last hope to
distract and possibly extradite the unconvicted youthful and women
voters from the Obama camp.

This presidential race is like a TV series of brothers and sisters who
always fought for their parents love and sympathy. The Obama camp is
accusing McCain of doing the same old thing year after year yet they
picked Biden as the running mate. Hmm! And, the McCain team, which
made fun of Obama's celebrity appeal by comparing him with Paris
Hilton and Britney Spears went with an attractive woman, a Washington
babe doll, with even less experience ----------------------------.
May the best TV series or movie win the oscar.

I'd like to see an old man win the race, but I'm afraid John McCain is
on the wrong side of history this time. With a culture influenced by
hollywood, good look, charisma, style and the fact that he's not as
clueless as John McCain painted him when it comes to what the middle
and working class people are going through right now, he's going to
prevail. He worked with Inner City youths for years and saw what they
had to go through. It was McCain who said in the primary that he did
not know much about the economy and did not know how many houses he
owned. Also, John McCain comparing "Obama" to Britney Spears and Paris
Hilton shows just how naive he is, even if he was only joking. Obama
is very intelligent, articulate and can speak from the heart unlike
McCain who has to read a teleprompter or a speech on a piece of paper
written for him. And by the way, Palin is the wife of an oil executive
and she's for getting rid of "separation of church and state" which is
gonna do her and McCain no favors.

Seperation of church and state is such a pesky old thing now. I'm
not sure if what we Americans need now is more prayer at the begining
and ending of all meetings, whether school classes, pilate sessions,
orgies, ball games, and so on. What America needs now is a leader who
inspires people to get up and ask what they can do for the country to
bring jobs back to the struggling middle class, to make college
education affordable, to be less dependent on foreign oil, and to
convince the rest of the world that democracy in America is not just a
dream, but real for the first time. Why? We have a president who is
not voted into the office "based on the color of his skin, but the
contents of his character" as Martin Luther King put it.
