The US battle among both republicans and democrats for party leadership has officially begun. Although, 'the world's greatest democracy' knows little difference between both sides - I tend to favour the Dems (just because I hope that a possible minority representative could bring at least some good). However, in the end, what difference does it really make?
Hillary or Barack. Yale versus Harvard. Old versus new. Female versus black. Real differences between the two are polarised to the extent of mere image building/ marketing and other aesthetic tools.
And when the image can't do the trick, we always can rely on sesx. Because sesx always sells, right Obama girl?
What remains is the money machine behind their campaigns. All candidates apparently have decided to refuse matching funds, which means that they are now free to spend as much money as they can raise privately - a lot of which, however, comes from the pockets of the American citizens. Some of which can have rather extreme views on how society should function...
We take money from everybody...
We could also of course expect a cancellation of the whole presidential elections. Everything is possible in the 'land of the free'.
A coup d'etat is also an option of course :). How much the world loves US politics!
Ps. Obama is in the lead for the Dems in New Hampshire Source
