Finally they’ve sorted out the details in the US election race. And as I hoped earlier this year, Barack Obama will be the Democrat candidate.
Hillary Clinton was never a bad candidate, but over time it did seem she had an extraordinarily bad team behind her, and Bill was both the best and worst thing about her campaign.
And I really do think Obama is the best candidate. He’s shown an ability to draw in new supporters while solidifying the base supporters, and that “message for change” is one that’s really needed right now.
By all rights, the Republicans should lose this one by a landslide, but things are rarely that easy. Anyone who cares about the state of the world should be keen to see how this goes.
