With the 1629 delegates lead of Barack Obama and the 1486 delegates of Hillary Clinton, it seems like to me that the democrats are winning and it's a closed battle between Obama and Clinton. But there's also a slight chance that John McCain can win the election. I saw the news today saying that the 2008 Olympic torch has gone through though protests and Clinton said Bush should not open to Olympics and should boycott the opening ceremonies for the Olympic games in Beijing. I strongly disagree personally with Hillary Clinton because the Olympics have represented a sacred spirit between different countries in the world and no one should boycott or do anything like stop the Olympic torch over political issues. Such acts have shown the evil side of humanity and in a civilized country like the United States should not act like a barbarian. On the other hand, what image will the Chinese government get if there's no representatives attending the Olympic in Beijing? It would be a great shame and disrespect to China since it's the first time that the Olympic takes place in Beijing of China. I do look forward to the opening ceremony and hope it will not be affected.
