| Who will WIN on Super Tuesday? |
My friends,the Super Bowl is over and history has been made. However, what lies ahead is bound to affect generations and millions more than what took place yesterday. I don't mean to undermine the importance of sports, but rather want to direct your attention to something of greater magnitude – the presidential elections!
Which of the two candidates democratic candidates will win on Tuesday and by how much? In my view, the real question is posed by our experience 7 years ago. That is, would America be in the international mess it now faces had Gore won the election? Clearly not. So, then the question is this, does it matter which of these two get elected from the standpoint of America today?
I believe that Hillary Clinton's administrative skills might be able to rebuild the institutions of government that have been gutted under bush. However, I do not think she has the "gut feeling" to engage with the now messed up US policy (role) in the world, a role that is even more important for everyone, including Americans than re-establishing government institutions at home. The gut feeling I see in Obama is the primacy he gives to an America committed to engagement over militaristic relations, to international economic development as a tool of peace and not merely as a source of greater profits, or "control" of resources.
Does it matter anymore who owns anything? Is a Chinese investor in the Midwest not as good as an American one? Is Ireland less Ireland for having most of its business owned by foreigners? All economics is now international, and while some companies benefit most from war, the vast majority benefit most from peace. I do not say that Hillary Clinton is opposed to international peace, but I simply do not see her being able to think globally. She's a polarizing figure and will not be able to bring both houses together to agree on important policies that we need to move our nation forward. Hence I believe that this election is not only extremely important, but it is equally important that the candidate most suited to the international challenges of today should win.
Thus, I urge you to please get out and vote...I think you'll truly agree with me when I say, EVERY VOTE COUNTS – Join me in voting for positive change in Washington.
