I must confess that I am a huge political junkie; meaning I have spent many late hours watching CNN. As a Canadian, I wonder to myself why our current election is not as entertaining as theirs. The United States of America has surprised me in respects to the progressive change I have seen in this current election. Two women have played key roles in America’s political future and for the first time there is an African American candidate for President. We Canadians like to think of ourselves as progressive, but I think our progressive time has faded.
Furthermore, politically I support Senator Barack Obama and Joe Biden. However, I wanted Hillary Clinton to win the democratic nomination due to her experience and concrete plans. Senator Clinton has been compared to the Terminator and now her supporters may decide which candidate is President. The action of Hillary Clinton supporters to even consider voting Republican due to her poor relations with Obama is ludicrous. To all supporters of Hillary Clinton: Get over it!
Since I am discussing woman in this campaign I will bring up the name Sarah Palin. For starters, if Senator McCain is elected President she will be literally a heartbeat away from presidency. Was I the only one who got shivers from that sentence? I would like to finish on an ironic note, only weeks ago the McCain team were launching attack ads comparing Obama to a celebrity, now when I am checking out at the grocery store I am literally surrounded by Sarah Palin on the cover of gossip magazines. How I wish I could vote in this election.
