The biggest elections of the year!

As usual, the US elections is such a long-drawn process that you sometimes wish they'll just get it done and over with. But this year's elections has been a pretty interesting one, what with the Clinton-Obama upset and the choice of Sarah Palin for VP, not forgetting how the recent economic downturn has seemed to turn the tide a little. Anyway, will be a pretty exciting race for the top position in the world (it still is!), so don't forget to catch it on TV or in the papers!

Right now, the polls are largely in Obama's favour (and I would vote for him if I could!), but most Americans still don't seem to be ready for a black president. As seen in past elections, pre-election day polls aren't usually very accurate, and some Americans may 'say one thing and do another'. Even if Obama is elected, the death threats that he's gotten recently might not be the last...and it can be pretty dangerous for him. John McCain seems ok, but I don't quite like his choice of Palin for VP, she seems to be over-playing the sensationalism card.
