The 2008 US election is under way, and the polls' results are promising. Senator Barack Obama is in front of his republican rival by an average 9 to 11 percentage points.
Senator Obama has been talking about a new direction towards - both domestic and foreign - the policy making all along his campaign. He has promised more equality and fairness for the American people on the domestic front. And in regard to the international affairs, as a rational and pragmatic person - an obvious characteristic of an intelligent lawyer - he has been offering dialogue and compromises to the US' international rivals for solving challenges his would be new administration is facing.
On the other hand, his republican challenger - John McCain - has been talking about tougher actions to secure the US' international interests - after all, he is a 70 years old feeble solider. I think I have said enough about him. And the polls' results suggest the same thing!
Nonetheless, since the onset of the election campaign, American people - mostly the new young generation - have shown their support for the reconstruction of the badly disfigured US image, internationally. They did that by rallying behind Senator Obama. By doing this, they sent an encouraging message to the world that it reads; we are worry about our international status. The early polls' results reflect this message. Lets hope the rationale of the American people and the election of their intelligent candidate - Barack Obama - as the 44 president of the United States become the ultimate result of a historical turning point in the US domestic and international politics.
