Hello "r_almeida_2000":
How are things going?
It's So Perceptive of you to ask!
As you can tell by the 8+ posts here~
many Americans have no clue how to
answer your question.
To be specific about your question?
1) Our Political Election Process
is in the first stages. We vote in
what is called State "Primaries"~
to select candidates in *2 major
"Parties". *Democrats & Rebublicans!
Each candidate gets "Delegates"
commited to them based on how
many votes they got. The more delegates~
the stronger the chance to move on!
Next is the Pol. Party Conventions:
2) This Summer the 2 major political
parties will select their "Tickets" for a
President & a Vice-President. This is
based on how many delegates they have.
The Dems. & Repub. will then mount their
*National Political Campaigns, after both
parties select a Vice-Presidental Ticket.
3) In *Early November '08 the voters
will then vote who they want to be
President from the National ballots.
The voters have NO Say in who the
Vice-Presidents are. If one votes for a
Repub. President~ it is an automatic
vote, for their V.P. Repub. Ticket.
Who might Win?
Right now, no one knows for certain~
because the Political "mud" is just
starting to FLY! We are only in Stage #1.
There are essentially 3 Pres. Contenders.
Senator John McCain~
as the Delegate Winner for Repub. Party~
& the Demo's have:
Senator Barack Obama
& Senator Clinton.
Sen. Obama is the Leading Delegate,
Front-Runner as it stands now~
in the Primary Process.
This Nat. Political Campaign here, will be
RUTHLESS~ until the Nov. Election.
People & the Media are attacking all
Candidates. Race & Religion are apparent
Key Factors AGAINST Obama!
Female Gender & past Politcal behaviors
are smeared against Hillary Clinton!
Old AGE & "Bush Politics as Usual" are
smeared against the Repub. McCain.
In November (after Pol.Conventions)
I have a feeling that the Nat. Campaign
will be McCain (Rep) vs. Obama (Dem).
But much can happen until then.
Vice-Presidents have NOT even been
decided yet!
Americans are pretty NAIVE & Gullible!
ANYTHING can happen. Most will
"VOTE-Their-FEARS" & not vote by
Intelligent Selection.
If the Electorate Vote FEAR?
We will have President McCain
(4 more years of basically the SAME)
If the voters vote~ "Hope"
& a new Direction?
We will have Prez Obama!
It all depends how MANIPULATED
the Electorate will be thru Nov '08!
Hope I have answered your question.
Who do YOU "like"~
based on what you have heard in Europe.
Ciao my friend!

the full international will pay interest to the U. S. election. no count the place you're you may get some information on it. in in Australia we community channels here will say the consequence of the primaries or perhaps carry victory and concession speech's stay we additionally get some American channels which will transmit the outcomes stay to the international. something of the international isn't on the hours of darkness approximately your election. in actuality many people distant places would have their own opinion on who could be elected. seeing individuals purely are the only those with the skill to vote for the U. S. president i inspire all individuals to contemplate who may be the terrific president for the worlds sake. i'm certainly a US citizen distant places and that's how i will choose my vote.

"Things" are going about the candidates here like this: Democrats are fighting over 2 candidates who roughly split the vote. Republicans only have 1 candidate. It looks like the end will include the Republican and the half of the Democrat party who will feel jilted.

I think that Barack Obama may win, but I am not so sure. John McCain and Hillary Clinton have about the same polling numbers.
No matter who wins, he or she will not be the best candidate that the United States can get.

The American public has managed to vote for the three most incompetent candidates during the primaries so no matter who gets elected we are still going to be screwed...and so is the rest of the world.

Well, John McCain is pretty much sitting a safe distance away while the democratic party goes into melt down.
Stay tuned for more breaking news as Hillary and Obama continue to duke it out.
