Judgement day for US

Today is judgment day for our Uncle Sam. Of course we are all very excited about the US. Outcomes of the election will no doubt influence stock market fluctuations, international ties, the ongoing war efforts and most importantly the US economy itself.

I wouldn't say I have been following up very closely on the whole campaigning efforts of both parties but the recent news has been bombarding us with the status of the campaigns extensively. I certainly do not know both candidates very well, however, I have a slight inclination towards Obama.

Obama has been the cool, motivational and charismatic candidate of the election more than McCain has. While many has been harping on his heritage and also inexperience, with his motivation and vision, Obama might be the energy that US needs.

McCain, on the other hand, while so-called more 'experienced' and known to deliver sound judgment, has failed on several fronts. His leadership skills have shown through the organising and running of his campaigns. Often disorganised and haphazard, his campaigns have failed to shone through. Few would disagree that he does not understand the state of the economy well, given the collapse of the financial world, coming soon after he commented that 'US economy has good fundamentals'. What is most obvious to all his is judgment, having chose Sarah Palin as his running mate. I believe there is no need to elaborate on the 'genius' that Palin has shown herself to be. McCain needs nothing short of a miracle to turn the elections around.

There has been skepticism about Obama's victory and talk of a comeback for McCain. While I highly doubt that, Obama might just need to put in a little more effort to convince any undecided last minute voters to ensure his victory. All shall be revealed tomorrow. God Bless.
