I’ve been paying a lot of attention to the primaries lately, even though I have no stern interest in politics. What I find is that Americans are going to run the risk of making the same mistake once more. Out of all the candidates on show this year, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney seem to be the best choices to run against one another. I happen to like Obama because he makes one feel as though one’s opinion of the world truly matters to him and that people should not hold back from the truth. While Romney might seem like a decent candidate, the fact that he’s a Mormon may be a turn off for some. It sure is for me. But I think these two are the best because they bring something different to the table. They have personalities that pique interest and other world leaders might be more open to dialogue with them.
While I like McCain, I think he is starting to sound a little too much like the much maligned Bush. I like his attitude, but since he has become a front runner, his words have changed. Hilary Clinton is also an admirable candidate, but she doesn’t breathe fire into my lungs. I’m not excited by the prospect of her presidency. She might be a good vice president, but I don’t see much else from her. If McCain and Clinton end up being the two candidates, it will be a real shame. People will resort to voting for the lesser evil, and we will have to deal with four more years of bland presidency.
