2008 U.S.A. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION part 1

This year's election opposes two very different candidates: for the democrats we have Barack Obama, who is currently in the lead, (born in Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S.A. His father was a Kenyan, his mother a Kansan. He went to Harvard Law School and Columbia University. He served as Illinois State Senator (1997 - 2004), and is currently serving as United States Senator (Class 3) from Illinois. He was officially nominated as presidential candidate on August 27, 2008), his running mate is Joe Biden (born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. He went to the University of Delaware and Syracuse University College of Law. He is serving as United States Senator (Class 2) from Delaware. He was chosen by Barack Obama to be his running mate on August 27, 2008).
For the republicans we have John McCain (He was born at the Coco Solo Naval Air Station, Panama Canal Zone, Panama. He went to United States Naval Academy. He served as Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Arizona's 1st congressional district (1983 - 1987) and is serving as United States senator (Class 3) from Arizona. He was officially nominated as presidential candidate on September 3, 2008), his running mate is Sarah Palin (She was born in Sandpoint, Idaho, U.S.A. She went to Hawaii Pacific College (for one semester), North Idaho community college (two semesters), Idaho University (two semesters), Matanaka Susitna community college (one term) and back to Idaho University (three semesters; she graduated there with a bachelor of science in communications-journalism). She served as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska and she is serving as Governor of Alaska. John McCain chose her as his running mate on August 29, 2008).
On one side we have two law school graduates (Biden and Obama) and on the other we have an ex-soldier and a graduate in communications-journalism (McCain and Palin). Who would you think is more capable of running the U.S. government? According to a Pew Research Center poll, Biden had a 60% favorability rating, compared to Palin's rating of 44%. Currently (2/11/08) the projected electoral votes are 333 for Obama and 181 for McCain. (on Yahoo!). And poll averages are 50.4 for Obama and 43.6 for McCain.
