US Presidential Election - Going to the Wire

Obama is being compared to John F Kennedy and now McCain has introduced his own Kennedy factor, this time 'Jacquie Kennedy' in the form of Sarah Palin. Let us see which Kennedy pulls in more votes to win the Presidency.

Obama may create history by becoming the first African-American to become President. John McCain may also create history by giving Sarah Palin the chance to become the first woman to become President, if as they say he is too old and may die while in office.

Sarah Palin has proved by her fiery speech that she has what it takes to shine in the 'centre stage' of the campaign. Joe Biden is a poor comparison to her charisma. And her family 'story and troubles' may get her more sympathy votes from women and mothers. She is appearing to be "All American' to Obama's 'Elite' personality.

Obama talks of change but went for Biden as running mate which is not exactly change. And he is still not very specific in his policies and what his administration will do and when.

McCain has proved he is willing to do 'change' by picking Palin as running mate. And he has shown that he is not afraid to take the risk of his running mate outshining him. Who knows he may redefine "Vice-Presidency' as well if he becomes President.

The news media seem to be against McCain-Palin. Obama does not seem to be as independent of his party as John McCain is of his.

Palin is the only one with a little adminisrative/executive experience, the other major players have nothing.

The choices are pretty difficult for the American voters and till the election they may be changing their views on daily basis.

But I think it will all come down to that moment in the voting booth when Americans will decide to what extent they are ready to create history and I have a feeling they won’t with Obama.
