Obama, Clinton Supporters Would Vote for McCain if Candidate Loses

Supporters from Barrack Obama and Hilary Clinton are going to throw their votes to Republican John McCain. People that were going to vote for Obama said that they were going to vote for McCain over Clinton. And 28 percent of Clinton’s supporters said that they were going to switch their votes to the Republican nominee. If Obama or Clinton loose many Democratic voters will vote for McCain. A lot of supporters of Clinton will rather vote for a Republican than to Obama. Some of Obama's supporters are more willing to vote for Clinton than to a Republican. I think that it’s nice that they support their candidates but some just don’t want to vote for another democratic candidate. If they are really democrats then they should just vote the democratic candidate that is left, rather than McCain. John McCain has a better chance of winning because he could have support from the democrats. People should just vote for the person they support the most.

kidnapped Iraqui archbishop is dead

As I was reading some articles I read about the archbishop that was killed. His name was Paulos Faraj Rahho and was the Chaldean Catholic archbishop. He was kidnapped last month when he was heading home. They found him Thursday “ buried in the southeastern part of the city.” When he was kidnapped the car had bullets and “ two of his bodyguards were killed.” He was shot on the leg and then shoved into the trunk of the car. He got out his cell phone, called the church and told them to don’t pay anything for his release. He suffered from health problems, like “ high blood pressure and diabetes.” So they think that maybe that he died of natural cause because he didn’t had signs of violence. He might have died because he was sick, but he suffered while he was kidnapped. I think that what happened to him was sad. There have also been other deaths going on around there. There had been attacks on Christian churches. People need to be careful because they might also be kidnapped and killed. Iraq is going thru many difficult times, a car bomb exploded and now the archbishop is dead.

Contest leave Democratic race up in the air

I read an article in CNN and it said that Hilary Clinton won in Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island, and senator Barack Obama won in Vermont. Obama latest delegate was 1,520 and Clinton had 1,424. They must win 2.025 delegates. But since they have almost the same number of delegates then the convention will be in August. The next primary is seven weeks away, were Pennsylvania, Wyoming and Mississippi will vote. Clinton has support from governor, Ed Rendell. Senator John McCain is now the Republican nominee. Clinton and Obama are still fighting against each other, and they are also fighting against McCain. Obama said, “ I think that I am in a much stronger position to run against the Republican than she is, otherwise I wouldn’t be running for president.” Obama thinks that he is a better candidate than Clinton, and thinks that he will be a better president. I think that Obama should be the candidate that should run against McCain. Clinton won in Florida and Michigan but they violated the primary rules. They had their primaries earlier that they supposed to. Now Florida wants to have another presidential primary, but they need to pay.
