It appears that many of the polls being taken do not reflect what the outcome of the next presidential election will be. Anyone paying attention could see that when John McCain holds a rally, it appears to have low attendance and applause signals, while Barack Obama’s rallies draw huge crowds and seem to focus on what most folks want to cheer about.
I think most of the world realizes Obama will be elected by a large margin, but some will not admit to this fact. Maybe these folks are living in a state of denial with racial overtones.
Let us be very serious. Would you rather your president be an extremely bright young athletic man with forward-looking ideas or a George W. Bush-type older gentleman with bygone ideas and Big Oil in his corner?
Obama is an American and I hope race will not play a part in whom we vote for. I am a white senior citizen who can admit I have lost all of my racial prejudices since Obama captured the Democratic nomination. We are no longer in the Stone Age, we are in the Age of Technology, so we had better elect a president who is living in the age of the future, not the past.
