The US Elections

The US Elections

A
s I write this blog, the world`s most powerful nation is electing it`s leader. The people in the US must`ve lined up polling stations waiting to cast their votes. In all probability every American wants his vote to count what with two wars and an economic mess threatening loss of jobs, homes....

Americans have still not forgotten the upset election of 2000 when Democrat Al Gore lost to Bush with a thin margin of 537 votes. The recent polls show Obama to win by a bigger margin yet the lead in the polls could be wrong. It has happened before in many elections in many countries. In US they call it the Bradley effect named after LA mayor Tom Bradley who lost the election inspite of the early polls predicting his win. Some election experts say that this is because many of the voters do not tell the truth.

Anyway whoever wins will have to awake on Wednesday morning to the stark reality of 2 wars and an economic mess. The person elected definitely will have no time to party the personal success achieved.
So folks let us wait for 24hours and see who leads US and cast`s his shadow over the rest of the world.
