...It still affects the world whether you live in the US or not.
I personally am of the opinion that I don't care if he's half black or not, can he run the country well and can his policies help to make the world a better place?
Of course it would do the US good to have a black president but I really believe there are global issues as well as domestic e.g. recession that require addressing asap.
Looking at the policies of both I'm edging towards Obama mainly because of;
1. He is not Republican - The world and the US seem to be saying enough is enough.
2. He seems like he wants to change America's stance on Iraq, Iran and Russia in a more diplomatic manner.
3. I like his stance on healthcare for all which is a big problem in the US.
The only downside I see is that he is inexperienced but in his defence his campaign seems to have been run well, his senate record is liberal which is something of a refreshing change.
Either way whoever wins its going to be historic, the US will either have the oldest President (McCain, 72) to start his first term and if he is sworn in, the first female Vice President OR as we all know unless your living on Mars, the first black president.
