The Texas Democratic Debate- 2008

So the two die-hard Democratic Presidential candidates met for a rather uneventful debate in Texas. A damp squib for the Clinton aides who hoped she would thump this one for a change and reboot her slump in her race ( She has lost 11 states in a row mind you). Obama camp on the other hand expected him to walk all over her thus stamping his lead. Neither happened. For most of the debate, we witnessed a kind of kiss-and-make up approach with both the Democrats agreeing to each other views on Iraq, Health Care, Immigration Reforms etc. There was hardly any thing different that either spoke. But for a clincher, Clinton accused Obama of plagiarism with a statement ' Thats not change you can believe in, That's change you can Xerox'. To which Obama retorted with ' That means my supporters are delusional'. Clinton didn't quite walk away with this one, but she didn't give it away to Obama on a platter either. The desperate cynicism in her campaigning showed, while Obama seemed to play big brother. There were two winners on Thursday night, The Democratic Party (which promised unity in the race post nomination as well) and Xerox- the photocopiers were eternally genericised by the former first lady. The Democrat voters will meanwhile twiddle their thumbs and chew their nails....whom shall I vote ?

Kuwaitis, beware this is going to be one decisive electoral process and an even more defining race to the white-house. For most businesses around town have been swearing allegiance to the Amreeki business, and many have made their moolah by hook or crook. The armed forces are surely declining in number, a lot of scrutiny happening at the camps for all business deals..this wl mean lesser businesses in the years to come, With the middle east rooting for Sen. Obama, we wl surely see a new Iraq minus the Amreekis.
