Hillary vs Obama for president
While it is of course understandable that people within the same party are going to agree on much, ti seems strange that the only two main democratic candidates for the presidency don't differ much on their policies and values.
It seems as though there's such a small elite inner circle who vie for the presidency amongst themselves. Is it possible that someone like Barack Obama could be a part of the establishment plans as much as any other candidate?
Many Americans are eager for change as well, but a change to what? Democratic or Republican political opinion. I think a lot of times, people get these unrealistic ideals inside their heads and they think they can materialize them while they are not feasible with the standard social platforms...such as death penalty sentencing for instance where it is easy to say we should take an eye for an eye. However, the answer is not always so easy.
CNN constantly covers the campaign and you can expect a vast amount of spin on the story as race continues. Analyst on Larry King may include a celebrity line up like Ben Stein. On Lou Dobbs, you're likely to find more pundit speak.
I don't always get a chance to watch TV, but when I do, the news is probably the most entertaining thing on. Everyone wants to know what's really going on. People want to be surprised by the events of the news. We are always waiting to see that next big headline. What could be more tantalizing?
How could there be, for so many decades, basically just white men to choose from for president, then all of a sudden in 2008, the democrats have a big ticket alternative race and alternative gender candidate. What changed? Is this inevitability?
