The coming presidential election is turning out to be really close and heated. Who would have thought that McCain could even the voting preference at 45% (based on recent survey) and the remaining 10% as undecided? During the close of the primary, Obama was leading by 12 percentage points, and now just days before the national party convention, the chances are about even.
At the party convention expect each candidate to throw everything in and project an image that will appeal to voters. And a dose of anything patriotic will be the order of the day, from giant American flags, to
fan flags, to mini flags at the convention venue and to
custom car flags that will adorn each candidate's entourage as they move along roads and highways.
Who would be able to satisfy the American psyche will have the advantage - meaning the one that can show his moorings as more American. Or are we faced with the three pronged assault in our internal security, can our candidates handle the delicate situation in Georgia, that is aside from the downslide in the country's economy, unemployment, health care, and the question of immigration among others.
As I see it, whoever wins the presidency will have his hands full in order to address the various concerns that affect the whole cross section of society and maintain our stature as the true patron to be relied on by the world community.
To be president of the United States of America in this phase of our history will never be easy, because as the world changes, our continued leadership will always be put to the test. This is no job for the fainthearted, not even superman.
