Obama vs Mc Cain

Mc Cain is like a cane toad (venomous) while Obama sounds very much like Osama, even though Obama strains every nerve of his to assert that he is a Xtian and not a Muslim(his father was a Kenyan Muslim and mother an American xtian). I think Obama will win this election largely because of anti-incumbency wave even though he will lose a sizable chunk of the vote by being firstly a black and secondly because of his middle name(Americans generally don't seem to like anyone who has a 'Hussain' in his name). The whole world in general and Americans in particular, are tired of the right wing policies and psychology of Bush junior. This election has been an eye opener for the rest of the world in that new lows were reached as each opponent tried to cast aspersions about the another. And most talk shows in the US were busy as if reminding the American public about Obama's Muslim connection. Even in these modern times as today, it is simply baffling as to how prejudices(as race and religion) run deep in the dark recesses of the American minds. Yes, this election was an eye-opener in exposing the parochial lines along which the election was being contested. And yes, to provide some comic relief, Sarah Palin was there to be reckoned as the only positive in this election. And mind well, the rest of the world is supposed to take lessons from the successes of the American democracy.
