Campaign 2008: The Race is On
Published by Jim on Sunday, January 21, 2007 at 3:35 AMThe 2008 Republican National Convention is set for the Twin Cities, while Denver has been selected as the venue for the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Republican frontrunner Senator John McCain's campaign has Gov. Tim Pawlenty as it's co-chair, signaling the importance of Minnesota as a swing state.

Both candidates bring new excitement to the race for President because Senator Clinton, with 100% name recognition, and Barack Obama, with refinement and mult-culturalism, could change the face of the political establishment in the United States.
Whatever your politics, Campaign 2008 promises to offer something for everyone. It's up to you to become involved. Although U.S. Middle East Policy may be a current headliner, other critical issues are: Extending Health Care, Improving the Environment, Moving towards a Sustainable Economy, Energy Independence, Immigration, etc. And, there are always surprises: who imagined the political impacts of 9/11 or Katrina or the Muscle-Flexing of China.

This political race for the presidency in 2008 will be by far the most intriguing of any political race to date. The Democratic party has two candidates who are representing two groups whom of which have never been in the presidential office to date, a person of minority status and a female candidate. These two people, Hillary Clinton and Obama Barrack, are perfect examples of how times are changing and our Nation is in the midst of reformation. Another serious issue with this political race is how the elected official will be jumping right into the War in Iraq which the Bush Administration has left in question. The key to this election will lie in which candidate is more of a Centrist, for the nation needs an official who can reach out to all groups and issues in an open minded manner. This election will be fascinating!
