upcoming US Presidential election

the US presidential election is something that it has been impossible escape from and not notice no matter where you are in the world, so it must be important. as whether it's important for me i would say definitely half my family lives there and they are all democrats and i'm about to move there soon. i did not watch the presidencial debate but i read that nothing new was covered so i guess it would not have changed my veiw. personally i think the most imporatant issue right now is the economic and the whole iraq issue. there's also the more current wal street stock crash in which a 700 billion bailout plain was rejected by congress. when the problem seemed solved both presidental candidates tred to take some credit in it's solution. right now everywhere you read emocrates are on the lead but then the fact that it's by a close margin republicans still have a chance. i do want barack obama to win because we are sick of republicans it would be mazing if the republicans win this year as well. they said it's never happened that a party has remained in power for 3 or more elections so that's a positive for us dempocrats.
