Rudy Guiliani- The next President of USA-No more

I have been saying it for some time but now I have decided to record it.

I believe Rudy will be elected the next President of USA in 2008.

I think America is not yet ready for a Black or a Woman to be its President.

Barack Obama is self-destructing and has lost his momentum. He has lost his audience because he is not seen to be patriotic anymore. He is not wearing the 'Flag Pin' and did not think it was important to sport it as a symbol. And anyone who does not want to vote for him can use the excuse that 'he is too young and inexperienced' and does not reperesnt the majority of Americans and they may be right too. He is too early on the scene. With a difficult War raging on and the American economy down and the Dollar almost disappearing from the Global Arena, most Americans may not want to risk an unknown Black person at the helm of affairs.

Hillary Clinton on the contrary is too well-known and many may not like what they know of her. She has the Clinton Baggage weighing her down and she is seen to be too ambitious and may be too compromising to attain her personal goals. What is her real achievement anyway? She had a bad go at health-care and has not controlled Bill well while she was the First Lady. She might have generated more credibility if she had disowned Bill after the Monica Lewinsky affair, but instead she stuck with him, may be with the idea not to jeapordise her political advancement. She does not represent the average American Woman and is seen to be more Male than Bill. What is her record as a New York Senator?

Rudy Guiliani has a good track record as Mayor of New York and his patriotism has been burnished by the 9/11 tragedy. He had cleaned New York and had run a tight ship. His personal problems may create sympathy with the voters as he fronted up and dealt with them in full public glare and came out unscathed. And he has the immigrant success aura as well. His experience in governance is there for everyone to examine and assess.

So my gut feeling is Rudy will defeat the Democratic Nominee (Hillary, most likely) and will win hands down. I won't be surprised if at the right time, George Bush endorses Rudy,which may bring the extreme Right into Rudy's fold.

If it becomes cliff-hanger between Rudy and Hillary, you can always count on John Robert's Supreme Court to swing the decision in favour of the Republicans and Rudy.

God Bless America.

Update on 31/01/2008.

Well, there goes my reputation. Rudy has gone off, just after a stupid one-state stand/
What a waste. To think that he could have made a decent fight if he had taken the whole campaign more seriously. Anyway. America may be more blessed now.
