Clinton or Obama????

Who do you think will be America's next president? Hard question to answer isn't it? No one really knows , Obama and Clinton are both really strong competitors...it's anyone's game.

Everyone has their own opinion on who they think should win , mine is Hilary Clinton. I think she has more experience than Barak Obama , but that's just my opinion. Since Hilary was a former 1st lady she knows what she's getting herself into and what's expected of a president. Some people say since her husband was a former president he's the one that's going to make the decisions , but in a way that's kind of good since he was president and knows what to do. You know what they say two heads are better than one!


Obama is considered a threat to Hilary , he's raised lots of money and has the majority of people's votes in places like Mexico. Many people think Obama is really young to run for president , compared to 60 year old Hilary they're kind of right. That's 60 years of knowledge and experience. I don't think it matters about age it's all about who's will be the better president for our country. That is more important because age is just a number. America needs someone who has the intellegence , good judgement , and knowledge to be a good leader.

So far it's a very close call on who might win. The National poll shows that 47% are all for Obama , 44% are for Clinton. In Wisconsin 45% are for Obama , 41% are for Clinton. In Ohio 39% are for Obama 56% are for Clinton. The results in Texas were 38% Obama , 48% Clinton. Clinton raised $13.5 million in January. Obama raised $32 million. By the end of 2007 the total money raised by Hilary Clinton was $107 million , Barak Obama raised $102 million. If that's not close I don't know what close is. From what I understand both Clinton and Obama are promising new health benefits if they win. Obama also is promising new changes in government.

We can guess all we want on who might win but we won't really know until Election Day. Whoever wins is going to make history. Hilary Clinton will be the first woman president , Barak Obama will be the first African American president. They've already made history thou , because women or African Americans couldn't even run for president a couple of years ago.
