I expect the current US elections to be a non-event. Its a foregone conclusion that the grand old elephant would collapse with its own weight. Its a good feeling to know that my horse ... errr ... the donkey is in top form - sleek, agile and ofcourse packed with a high powered delivery system.
But let's not be complacent. If you are still undecided, then here's what I'd like you to do. Just ask yourself two basic questions: 1. Am I better off today (in Bush years), or was I better off during the Clinton years? 2. Is the US better off today or was it better off during the Clinton years? As far as I am concerned, there's no question that the Republican party (along with the Texas Oil Mafia) screwed up this country big time in the last eight years. I am hopeful that Barack and his Democratic party would change the course of this nation, for a better America and for a peaceful world. I am also hoping that the democrats get the 60 seats in the US Senate to make their agenda filibuster proof. In normal circumstances, I'd want to have the Congress ruled by a different party than that of the President, so that they maintain checks and balances. But these are abnormal times that require the support of more than a simple majority, to get this ship moving in the right direction. We need to end this stupid war in Iraq quickly and raise taxes on the rich. If Obama wins, these two things are guaranteed to happen.
