National: McCain gains momentum

Summary: For the past six years McCain has been slowly preparing himself the running of president. After the Iowa Preliminaries people were sure that he was done with the running for candidacy. But since the New Hampshire Preliminaries McCain has proved us wrong. He has gained momentum in the running for the president. As of right now there is no idea on who will be the republican candidate. Everyone is still so close and surprises keep happening.

Opinion: I have no real exact opinion on this whole candidacy. I believe the republicans have more of a better viewpoint than the democrats. I believe that you cannot go wrong with any republican candidate. I am glad that McCain has gained momentum in the running. He would be an amazing President but right now I am just sitting back and waiting to see what happens with everything. As for the Democrats, i don’t think they have a chance at winning.


National: Obama?!?!

Summary: As of right now Obama has stolen the spotlight in the Democratic Party. He has pulled ahead from Clinton and many other top candidates. He stole the points from Iowa, but came in 2nd in the New Hampshire preliminaries. Obama was in the beginning not really standing up for anything but now he has taken a stand. The poles are showing him to be in the lead by a number of points. He is most likely going to be the democratic candidate for the running of president.

Opinion: No matter if Obama is the candidate I don’t think he will have a chance. I believe the Republicans will once again rule the white house. I think the democrats are ridiculous on some of their opinions on what they would do if they became president. I am glad though that he will probably the candidate instead of Hillary. The democrats have more of a chance with him than with Hillary.
