A woman or a black guy. I would love to see either win but i cant help feeling it's election suicide by the Democrats.

Democrats are left wing, Republicans right

I remember it as 'Liberal Democrats' being left wing

I've not read up so I can't comment on either side really

Obama sounds a bit to like Osama, or bomber. Barack sounds like barracks, conjuring images of soliders and war and "take cover!" - ka-boom. Also Ballack, who by all accounts is sh_tter than fresh sh_t.
Hilary is close-ish to Hilarious, or the third-choice Chelsea goalkeeper Hilario. And when I hear the name Clinton all I see young interns sucking cigars.
So after my marvellously marvellous analysis, I predict nothing, because political predictions are for wombats.
Bumbum, it's Saturn's Day.

Sorry if I sound like a retard but which one is left wing and which one is right wing?

I'm not very into politics.

They're Democrats, thats why i like them. Hell i'd support Ming the Merciless if he was a Democrat, i believe he's a Republican though.

From an outsiders perspective (ie ignoring domestic policy) I'd prefer Barack Obama to win. I think he'll be less divisive in the international arena.

Just because they are female/black or because you think they'd actually make a good president?
