President Searching With a Fine Tooth Comb

With the race for the President's post heating up, the
question on everybody's mind is "Who will be the next President of the United
States?" And this is not merely a
question that remains limited to the minds of its citizens. The size of the United
States of America, in terms of both
geography and economy, as well as the power it wields over the international
affairs, makes its Presidential elections a matter of global concern.

So will the 2008 elections herald a change in command for
the U S of A? Will the Democrats once again take center-stage after losing out
in the last two elections? Or will this be yet another victory for the
Republican party? Perhaps, that is a question that should be fielded to the
American voters... Who will they be voting for?

After the two terms of Republican President George Bush, it
seems likely that there will be a change in the party at the center. But if
this were to be true, who would the likely Democratic candidate be? Currently,
Hillary Clinton appears to be the favorite candidate of the Democratic Party.
However, she will be getting some decent competition from Barack Obama.

So will the 2008 elections usher in a new era? Will there be
a woman president at the helm? Or will a black man enter the White House? Both
would be firsts in the history of the American democratic system. But who would
win this race?

The charismatic Obama is currently the only African American
in the American Senate, and he is only the fifth African American senator in
the history of the United States.
Sure, he is hugely popular among a vast cross-section of American society, but
would he be able to stomach a hard campaign?

Hillary Clinton has been the favorite for the 2008 elections
for a long time now. Currently, the likelihood of her getting the candidature
is very high. But in the rough and tumble of politics, who knows when the tide
might turn, and in whose favor.

Perhaps it is time that one of the greatest democracies of
the world and the current superpower, made a deviation from the usual President
type -- a white male. Both, women and African-Americans have made their
presence felt in the society and political system of the great nation. It is
time that a new attitude is allowed to pervade the White House.
