February 5, 2008 Primaries

One of the most anticipated events this year has got to be the Democratic and Republican primaries going on across the country. Nominations to represent each party is very critical because this person will eventually run for the White House and possibly running the country for the next four years. Below are the remaining candidates that I believe will have the strongest chance of representing their respective parties for presidential candidacy:




Democratic Party

1. Hillary Clinton- I admired her work during her husband's term in office especially during the Monica Lewinsky scandal that rocked the core of their marriage. Hillary believed that low points like this can be resolved without ruining a marriage. Her philosophy stays the same for her own bid to the White House as she promises to mend the nation's problems without changing the aspects that makes this nation great.

2. Barack Obama- The Illinois has gathered momentum since his speech during a Democratic Convention for John Kerry. His voice and his message stuck to the minds of the people and that's why he is still in the running for the White House. If elected, Obama will be the first African American president to lead the country.

Republican Party

1. John McCain- The Arizona senator has been well-known for his swift actions and sometimes controversial ones also. As a conservative candidate, his beliefs are totally parallel with the beliefs of the democratic candidates. It's been a long time in the making, but it seems that the Republican party's candidate during the convention this summer will be John McCain.

If you want more information about the candidates, I have posted the links below to their official web sites.

This is helpful. I'm not a political person so I find it easier to get the opinions of real people since it is hard to siphon through the jargon and lies. I also like that you included links to the candidate pages because often times people rant about their opinion without giving any type of source or reference.

P.S. Do you think If Hil or Barack wins the other will step into the Vice position?
