US is Expecting a New Black President

With only a few time left for John McCain, Barack Obama is enjoying a good lead. Based on the polls conducted by different media, Obama is leading as much as 10% over MaCain which is an indication that he has the clear advantage over his rival. If these survey will not change, there wil be a new black president for the United States of America.

Obama promises that he will again unite the nation. With his platform and program of government we can see that he is getting the support of more US citizens.The first task that he will be facing is on how to solve the financial crisis that is hitting worldwide economies.

With the automated elections in the US, the result of the Presidential Elections is fast. We just hope that the Philippine government will also do the same to avoid cheating and fraud.

The election in the US should be a model for our government. Results of the election is fast, there are only 2 candidates for the Presidency, voters are well informed of their candidates, and computerized elections.

And for Barack Obama, if he wins this contest, Philippines will always feel and will be affected of whatever changes that he will implement in the White House.

What can you say about the strategies being made by politicians running for the 2010 Presidential Elections? Most of these politicians are now doing some media and pr campaign. Although their strategies cant be consiered as electioneering, but their actions are really an example of campaigning for the next elections.

US Politics an example for Philippine Politics

With months of debates and exhausting primaries, nominees for the next presidential elections in the U.S. are now trimmed down to just two contenders. John McCain and Barack Obama stands to be the most strong candidate for the next election for each party, the democrats and republicans.

Here's the latest update of electoral votes for the two presidential nominees. This is quoted from http://www.usaelectionpolls.com/

* Barack Obama - 282
* John McCain - 256

This is a very tight battle for the Presidency comes November. But what is good in U.S. Presidential elections? They only have 2 candidates for Presidency. The voters are guided on who will they choose since this candidates were chosen as the best from a handful of nominees.

Loosing nominees in the U.S. primaries concedes when they are defeated but not in the Philippines. Loosing candidates will always continue to file protests and claims of being cheated is a normal situation.

In the Philippines, anybody could run for President. Even a farmer can file his candidacy. In the Philippines, presidential election is always with nuisance candidates.

When can the Philippines adopt a similar method of choosing candidates for Presidential Elections? The government can save money and resources. Elections will be more organized and hopefully peaceful as what is happening in the U.S. It is a battle of intelligence, capability, and the power to lead.

In the Philippines, it is a battle of money and power.
