Bold Predictions:

1. Barack Obama will be the Democrat nominee for president.

This is no great incite accept that Hillary is running desperate. Do people prefer inspiration over facts? That’s what Hillary is touting… She brings facts and Barack brings inspiration. Well, inspiration wins. We as humans always prefer to be inspired. Bill Clinton knows this, and he, above all others, knows that his wife is uninspiring.

2. Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States.

This sounds like I’m a Barack supporter or a Democrat or something. Nope. I just see the writing on the wall. Republicans are nominating an uninspiring man with questionable conservative credentials. If McCain can convince conservatives that he is true blue…well, maybe. But the rule that I learned long, long ago in politics is… Given a choice between a Democrat and a democrat one should always choose the Democrat (and most people will). McCain's one possiblility is the continued racism of the people of this country...will they vote for a black man?

Joe,
I have to agree with your predictions. I am very glad to see that Hillary has been in decline.
So this election has gotten me thinking a lot, would I rather have a black man or a woman in the White House? Well, I truly don't care about skin color or gender (although I would prefer a man be elected), for me it's more about who represents my beliefs more than the other candidates do. Sadly, McCain does not represent me, or many other (somewhat) conservatives. This does leave me in a sort of dilemma. How do I vote this election? This will be a tough one for me...
