Neither will win the actual election, but between them...Obama.
A black president is more realistic than a woman president, IMO. (not to sound sexist) |
Why? From an outsiders point of view it seems clear that the democratic nominee will win due to the mess that Bush has made damaging the republican party. @Stranne. American politics are in general a lot further to the right than European, Australian and New Zealand politics. |
I have heard this a lot for "outsiders". I don't know if it's culture or what, but in the US, the person trumps the party. If Obama wins the primary, he will most likely win the presidency. Clinton however, never will.
The way it works over here is during the primaries, all candidates are civil towards each other. They will poke a little at each other, but they don't do so much that if that person wins, they have hurt there party. Once it's republican vs Democrat, all the gloves come off. Both run a smear campaign, and by the time you go vote, you are just voting for the one you hate the least. It's sad, but that's how it works.
Clinton has to much dirt to survive, and not enough to throw at McCain. It's hard to slam a war hero over here, and not look like an ass. Clinton can attack his policy, but has to tip toe around his character. Clinton on the other hand has no character, so destroying her is easy.
So my opinion, is the next president will be Obama. If Clinton wins the primary, it will be McCain.
