As of now I think it's Barack Obama's to lose. It's only a matter of time before Hillary quits. The big question is: Can McCain come back twice?

I hope for America's sake it's Obama. In the absence of assassination - something I think is a very real threat - he'll get in too.

To me it looks like that Mr. Obama knows very well, how thinks work in America (and not only America) with winning an election.

The Republican candidate looks how he could learn something in this area from the Democratic candidate. The nomination of a female Vice President looks like a good idea in the first place, however, I think, it's rather difficult for people to switch from Mrs. Clinton to Mrs. Palin, because they are so different politically.

Yes, Angela Merkel improved her hair style and her clothes before she started to run for election. Well, it wasn't actually bad before, even though I heard Sandra Maischberger saying something along the line, that she refused to have a hair style at all before.

She started to prefer orange clothes, probably in association with what was going in the Ukraine at this time.

But than again, probably Mrs. Merkel has never been half the challenge for a style advisor than Mrs. Palin would be

If I get this correctly, Obama Barack is the winner of the last week when it comes to this undecided voters poll.

My problem with McCain is he only promises 4 more years of the last 8 years....and he acts as if he had nothing to do with the last 8......
