Obama the Democrat candidate

Barack Obama is coming out as a clear winner in all the primaries and is well on his way to face John Mccain the Republican candidate in the presidential elections. He is pretty convincing with his speeches and policies and his theory of change. People are taking his idea of change very well. He has the charisma and has a very good head on his shoulders to make the change he intends to. He has amazing ideals backing him.

Whats going against senator Hillary Clinton is the fact that she has the name "Clinton" attached to her, the name which, has bad memories in the mind of the Americans, given the fact that Mr. Bill Clinton was a controversial president. Whats also going against her is that she initially supported the war against Iraq. According to Obama, Hillary refuses to concede that it was a mistake on her part for having voted for the war. She is loosing it badly and is throwing personal attacks at Obama which are clear indications of frustration in the face of defeat.

Barack Obama on the other hand is a fresh face. He is young and exudes energy and confidence which is what the Americans are looking for. He remains calm and composed even when bombarded with personal attacks by Hillary Clinton. She is digging deeper into Obama's back ground to get something against him. She wishes to make an issue out of his Kenyan origin. He is a citizen of America now and his background doest hold weightage anymore. I dont think its going to work. It will be a wain attempt on Hillary Clinton's side to try and bring down Obama. He has been delivering punches at the right time and now enjoys a pretty good lead over Hillary which might turn out to be hard to beat for her.

The next two contests at Texas and Ohio are very important for Hillary Clinton. If she doesnt win and get a lead over Obama or atleast get close to Obama's delegate count, then i think its better she stops going on furthur. She would do herself good by doing so. It think its a fair challenge thrown at Hillary by Obama's party. The republican candidates have been wise in doing so. John McCain was emerging the clear winner and the rest of the candidates stopped and conceded victory to him. Hillary Clinton would be wise in doing the same after this last attempt.

Both will create history of sorts by being either the first ever woman president or the first ever black president. The second history making script though seems to be on its way to becoming reality.
