My take on the candidates

I got in touch of a middle school classmate on Facebook. We had not seen each other after parting from school. She is now a mother of 2 and lives in Toronto, Canada.

She asked me whether I could vote in the presidential election and what was my take on the party nominees. Here is what I told her:

I am not a citizen so I can't vote. Huckabee is a joke. Aren't all Americans sinners to need a preacher as their president?? John McCain is moderate, but he needs to get Huckabee as his running mate in order to get support from the party. But he is too old. If he dies during his term, Huckabee will be the president. So McCain is also a no go. Obama can speak, and he listens too. I think it is the most important quality for a president. Plus, being a black, he can change the view of the world about the US. But he seems to be not living long.. maybe he will get assassinated, as predicted by someone in the press. Clinton is just a careful politician. But either Obama or Clinton will probably get John Edwards as his/her running mate. So I will go for the Democrat and support Obama. Even he really got killed John Edwards would be a good replacement.
