Damn, the Americans are really unfortunate when it comes to leadership.Theydeserve better, after 8 years with Bush....

Not really. We have a few decent candidates (Kucinich and Gravel). But the American people are like sheep. Whomevers face is plastered all over the media the most gets the most votes. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of voters have never even heard of Kucinich running for president. If you watch the debates, Hilary and Obama get way more time talking than everyone else. Because all the money trails lead to them. So this is how the US gets stuck with crappy leadership, because the people choose to be so easily deceived.

So this is how the US gets stuck with crappy leadership, because the people choose to be so easily deceived.It seems like people vote based on name recognition instead of actually looking at each candidate and their ideas. Not to mention physical appearance, like who has the best smile or who's the tallest (the smile and charisma thing goes to Obama...).
Not ron paul, I can see that being a repeat of the bush years already...
There are better candidates like gravel or edwards though, Hilary is too conservative for my taste.

Why not Ron Paul? He looks pretty opposite with a lot of stuff, like how he wants to pull all troops out of Iraq right away, and his emphasis on the Constitution: two big things Bush doesn't have in mind.

How many feminists are going to vote for Hilary just because she's a woman, and how many people are going to vote for Obama because he's black? A lot.
