So the race is on, south of the border eh? No matter who wins the USA presidential election, one thing is sure, that its gonna be a candidate from the liberal. How Democrat? That's the big if on the equation. As long as white elephant never trampled back into Casa Blanco, I know who is going to be happy to see that day. After all, Bush and his cohorts had their share of power already and their days are now numbered. Its time for a new era. Government is just in cycle, and whoever is in the throne, I don't see so much hope for the future. Its all the same ball crap.

But my Dad is now gone. He's no longer around to watch and relish the excitement of this presidential race. He'd been following this contest since Kennedy. And the guy leader named after a vacuum machine. Even when we were still on the other side of the continent. President after president came and went: Nixon, Carter, Ford, Reagan, Clinton. Bush, Bush (not necessary in that order). They've all passed and gone although some still linger around. My Dad was attune to CNN. He was more American, than Canadian in terms of viewing channel.

So nowadays, the heat is on about choosing presidential candidate on primary level, right? Who shall prevail? Barbra or Oprah? Err a woman or Obama? Clinton or a Black man? Hillary or Barrack? No matter how you put it, race and gender is in the cards! And America is in for a grueling but exciting fight to the finish. And the world, PRAY, will still be the same.
