USA, Canada /
POLISH AMERICANS AND THE 2008 US ELECTION [79]
three different cars on a car lot. One of them has an engine that misses, the next doesn't have a steering wheel, and the last no brakes.
Good comparison.
Engine that misses-Mc Cain
No steering wheel-Clinton
No brakes-Obama
Anyway my opinion is that Obama will win because he is better public speaker than the rest and he knows the techniques to win arguments.US population is now largely educated(70% have college degrees),so it is easy for Obama to appeal to them.
Of course the average american IQ is 99,so Obama with a higher IQ may pass as far too smart for president,elitist,arrogant etc,however since the IQ is lowered mainly by the black population(IQ 85) which supports Obama for racial reasons and the latin population(IQ 88) which also sees Obama with sympathy as a mixed,Obama can win the intellectual part of the white audience as well,that is whites with IQ over 110 are very likely to vote for him because he is intellectually more advanced than the other candidates without being so much intellectual that he loses the ground.He is the golden mediocricy of intellectual but he seems much more intellectual than the other candidates.
So they have no chance to beat him on debates.He will win all debates because he knows all kinds of arguments as law proffessor.
In order to beat Obama you would need sb like Sarkozy a more hardcore intellectual,european style.Now there is practically no counterbalance for him.
If he were white and said exactly the same things,he would never get the black or latino vote.He would seem as arrogant,elitist white.Now he gets them because he is coloured.
