As long as it's a Democrat, I don't care

Obama or Clinton? is the question a lot of people have on their lips. The two candidates have been surrounded with large media attention due to their unusual demographics; woman vs African American. Both are underdogs, and are getting attention and support due to their underdog positions.

If either is better than the other is difficult for me to discern, mainly because during the campaigning session a lot of focus is on the progression of the votes in the primaries, and not on the facts about what the candidates represent. Or maybe I'm just too lazy to find out?

But honestly, I don't give a damn who wins. Both candidates have a good shot at the White House, and probably, neither will be a disaster of Bush-proportions. Because at this point, I'm mostly interested in getting that Republican fool out of office, and not having him replaced by another bloodthirsty Republican (fool or otherwise). I want a U.S. president that will heal the wounds caused by the Bush administration. I mean, the amount of goodwill the world had towards the US on account of 9-11 has been completely squandered.

I've often privately suggested that the entire world's population should be allowed to vote for the US president. But that just wouldn't be faire to the Republicans. So I guess it's up to the good people of US to do the right thing and elect the Democrat, Obama or Clinton!
