Young dynamic world-travelled senator with a background in constitutional law vs old guy who'll carry on in much the same vein as the current lot: Should be a no-brainer. However: Obama's viewed as a nigger, elitist, soft, too young and a Muslim variously by chunks of voting Americans and it may be that the Republicans can throw enough mud to keep Obama out. Would be a shame, as he's by far the better of the two for America's position in the rest of the world. But I won't be surprised with another 4 years of Republicans in power. I'll be celebrating hard if Obama wins. Charlie. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
