Rumors of a possible merge between the Democrats’ candidates take place
From the chess pieces to the piano keys, ebony and ivory has proved to be a hell of a combination. Now, Earth’s most powerful nation is somehow flirting with the idea. But what are the real odds? And if it really comes about, how significant is it to the world’s political scenario?
First, a quick view on the buzz: “That may be where this is headed.”, said Senator Hillary Clinton, for a CBS interview in early March, about their fusion assumption from supporters in Ohio. On the other end, Senator Barack Obama, Hillary’s opponent, responded securely: “I’m not running for vice-president.”. Plus, the other way round seems to have great rejection amongst Obama’s partisans.
The convention for the Democratic candidate’s nomination is held in August, 2008. The election itself, on November 04th. Right now, Obama enjoys a meager advantage in the numbers, but there’s still a lot to go from the primaries completion to the actual convention. Analysts pledge that having them together running for president and vice-president is just more of the same. They would be too much alike.
The point is Hillary and Barack do form an emblematic prospect for the Oval Office. Getting to elect either a woman or a black man as President is more than a challenge to Americans: it’s a message (and a very trendy one) that, maybe, the U.S. are willing to comply with a series of other meaningful issues and “hear the voices of the weak”.
The stiff backbone, that has characterized the country’s attitude throughout history, stands a chance to show a little bending and the world would appreciate it. Matters such as the environmental cause could finally become a really serious agenda in the White House. Minorities would own, for the first time ever, the one mighty job in the planet. Solely in case one of them actually wins the pot by the end of the year.
The idea pleases though. They have similar backgrounds: they’re both lawyers graduated from prestigious schools (Yale for Clinton and Harvard for Obama), the two began working for public affairs at an early age and have had expressive firsts in their careers: she was the first woman elected independently statewide in New York State and he was the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review. Favorable predictions for life?
By all means, it’s only speculation. However, the very thought of having such a kind of a ruler in Washington D.C. beats despair in favor of hope. It’s an opening for the new. The crucial question is: having both of them would really be too much? Only time will tell. As only will time tell whether all this faith in any of them has a reason to be.

A disputa eleitoral na maior potência mundial é assunto obrigatório nas conversas diárias.
Esse texto, tão bem elaborado, nos fornece subsídios quanto à disputa pelo lado dos democratas. Tenho maior empatia pela candidata Hillary Clinton.
Excelente matéria!!!
Quero que os americanos se danem.
Qualquer um que entrar no lugar do Bush já será um alívio!
Valeu?!
