Some pre-election result thoughts...

First of all, I think that this is easily one of the most important elections in US history, and definitely the most important election of the past 20 years. Both candidates have their credentials, their strengths, and their many, many faults. However, I feel that this is one of the first elections where both candidates can get their message across many mediums; the usual, TV, newspaper and radio ad's, along now with a bigger emphasis on internet promotion - Obama especially using the likes of Facebook and YouTube...something that wasn't around, or at least not used very much, when Bush and Kerry were running for office in 2004.

Something scary strikes me about Obama. His election campaign, media hype and almost god-like status amongst some voters reminds me of JFK's election campaign in the 1960s. And we all know what happened to JFK at the end - Obama has a lot of opponents, not just those of the Republican party, but those who want to assassinate him - one Republican even said on Fox News that there were plans to assassinate Obama. A lot of people see him as a light at the end of the tunnel, at the end of the day, he is just another politician, who will provide promises and most likely not provide them. Despite these faults, I think that Obama is America's best choice.

McCain, I feel, is really physically incapable of being president. The guy is old, and yes he is a war veteran, but I really think the guy, if elected, will not last long in the office, whether it be due to death or realising that the stress is too much, and Sarah Palin, the woman who sees Russia from out her window, would therefore take over. She does not have the experience I feel that is needed to be a president, or vice president, and definitely has said and done some extreme things that would deem her mentally able to hold such a high position of power. I also fear that if McCain is elected, taxes would be raised, more wars declared, and immigration control tightened, along with more freedom removing laws being passed. Of course, Obama could very well easily pass these freedom removing laws, as they are both for the same agenda anyway...so, it really doesn't matter who wins, as in the end, we will probably lose out.

I think America has had enough of Republican rule, and seeing an obviously aging slightly senile old man run against a young, fresh, forward thinking opponent, it's kinda obvious who SHOULD get the vote. America decides in a few hours. I hope the right choice is made, not just for America, but for the whole world.
