It is going to be very interesting to see who wins the primaries in Ohio and Texas. Both sides have of course been doing plenty of mud-slinging as the race for who will become the Democratic nominee gets closer and closer. This set of primaries looks like it will settle beyond a doubt as to who will be the winner, bringing an end to a very close race. My projection is that Obama will most likely win. Obviously either nominee will be a historical first if elected, and maybe our next leader will be able to prevent the crisis that the country is stepping towards more and more. All I know is I can't wait until Bush is out of office, and I hope our next leader can dig us out of this hole and help restore our credibility.
Although it will obviously be up to American voters whether they are ready to see a radical departure from the usual people you see in the White House. But I think that if the people would ever do something so unusual, it would be this election, where they obviously want a big change in general after the last eight years. The only reason that someone like Obama has gotten this far is that people don't want another politician: they want someone who will inspire them, give them hope, and bring them together. And Obama is a new face who obviously has the charisma to do so. We'll just have to see what happens in November.
