United States of America would be voting for their next president on November 4, 2008.
Believe it or not...this is the first time since 1928 that no incumbent (president and vice president) will be running for office again.
So far, as of May 2008, based on online articles, people leading the pact are senators from different states namely: Republican John McCain (Senator of Arizona), Democrat Barack Obama (Senator of Illinois) and another Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton (Senator of New York).
If your interested as to who's leading by how much between Obama and Clinton...here's a snapshot (from Wikipedia)

Ok...so enough about American Politics. In my opinion, whoever becomes the president of their nation...Philippine Government still beats 'em (sa pagkakurakot at pagkanepotispo)!
Which brings us to my title: TITO BOY for President! Nyahahah...don't get me wrong...I love Tito Boy. He does not seem to exploit his talents for the mere profit of things. And sadly...sometimes (ok, most of the time), Filipinoes would solely base the capabilities of a candidate on how famous he or she is on TV. I am not discrediting the celebrities who goes for position. I am just saddened by the fact on how most of us depend solely on media to formulate our opinions and decisions.
