I'm concerned about the election. I'd be OK with either Hillary or Obama in office; I'd prefer Obama, but I'm very worried about his electability. A black man with an Moslem father is going to be a tough sell in some parts of the country. Hillary is also going to be an uphill battle, because she's female, but also because there are a substantial number of people on both sides who detest her for one reason or another.
I think there's a real danger of either of them losing to McCain, particularly Obama. That probably would be an improvement over the current band of thugs occupying the White House, but it would still be a disaster.
So true. I am a bit concerned of Obama's experience. How much does he really have? Hillery, though history, has more. In any case, they certainly would be better than McCain. But then again time will tell. Or time to move to New Zealand (lol) PS Good to hear from you :)
