Young dynamic world-travelled senator with a background in  
constitutional law vs old guy who'll carry on in much the same vein as  
the current lot:

Should be a no-brainer.

However: Obama's viewed as a nigger, elitist, soft, too young and a  
Muslim variously by chunks of voting Americans and it may be that the  
Republicans can throw enough mud to keep Obama out.

Would be a shame, as he's by far the better of the two for America's  
position in the rest of the world. But I won't be surprised with  
another 4 years of Republicans in power. I'll be celebrating hard if  
Obama wins.

Charlie.
