Honestly, McCain doesn't inspire confidence. I've followed the road to the elections and I feel he (McCain) sounds confused at the most. Also, his running mate is hopeless! She's so clueless it is shocking. Even after a few coaching sessions from her party she's still a "bimbo".
Obama on the other hand, is calm and really reassured. He is statesman-like. He also has an equally capable running mate.
Being a non American I think Obama sounds the part. But, at the end of the day it is the American people that ultimately decide.

I think judging by the last few days events, it's fairly evident that Obama won't win, America aren't prepared for a black president, should he get in, I shouldn't imagine it'd be long before he gets assassinated, the deep south really really don't do black people, saying that McCain really doesn't seem to inspire, but I feel that he will win purely due to the fact he's white.
I'd just like to point out before you all shoot me down, I'm not racist/a white supremacist or anything like that, I just happen to think than Americans are that shallow.

That would be very sad.
If Obama loses based on his colour  and I think that is the only way he can lose.
I heard people commenting on CNN the other day saying Obama does not represent America etc..

Early in his campaign some americans thought Obama was a terrorist because his name is similar to Osama.
Personally I think Obama is the better candidate. McCain seems to overshadowed by Palin

I thought that Obama's closing argument in Ohio last night was pretty strong and motivating. McCain, who also happened to be in the same state at the same time appeared to stumble a bit. The urge in his voice and deliverance of speech weren't up to the mark. My only major complaint, if it can be called one in the first place, is that Obama's PR seems to send out Tweets a bit more frequently than I'd like to see.
To tell you the truth, Obama trumping McCain or vice-versa wouldn't really affect me, so I'm just tagging along with the rest of the more serious voters.

I thought this contest was fairly tight until Mccain chose his running mate, a rabid hypocritical religious fundamentalist might turn on the extreme right in the US, but to the average voter, she resembles something rather scary.
Obama should win.

That is such a fair assessment there fatreg! I can't help but think his race is likely to be his downfall.

I agree. On performance Obama should win but I wonder if the electorate will let him be the first black US president.

Abraham Lincoln was also a president.
He was the first US Black President , I think.

Noooooooooooooooooo!
You're talking about the 1800s when black people were really suffering in the US, actually worldwide. They had no rights whatsoever.
Abraham Lincoln was as white as McCain. There has never ever been a black president in the US.

This is 2008 and you are speaking of a minority. If Americans on the whole were that shallow Obama would not have the lead he has in the polls. (He has had a lead from the start too). McCain is too old and too Bush like. His whole campaign has been basically to dig updirt of Obama. Obama will win.
Whether or not America can still remain as big a superpower as they want remains to be seen. I see China and Asia on the rise in a big way.

Forgive my ignorance but I haven't watched 24 since the first series after which it went to sky.
But what happened to David Palmer??
EDIT: For those who lack a sense of humour or are denied the requisite intellect do detect humour as it is laid out in front of them. THE ABOVE IS A FINE EXAMPLE
