Mac Is Back by Kamila Moravcikova

Well, we all know that year 2008 is really important year in United States as it's a year of elections. But it's not only American affair. Because of a huge impact of United States (including economic, military and other issues) the whole world is concerned. Who will be the one? Who will be enjoying the "one of the most important and powerful person in the world" status? And as a Non American I'm interested in another question. Can we look forward to having first Afro-American president ever or to having first woman president ever? The thing is, outside US, the attention is mainly paid to two candidates of Democratic party. Honestly, I am much more familiar with Hillary's thrilling struggle to save her marriage and Barack's sprightly youth involving drugs. But what about Reps? John? Mitt? Mike? I'm sorry and I feel ashamed for my ignorance. Usually, these guys running for president are just a "what Hillary said and Barack declared" footnote. It's pity, because for example John McCain is quite interesting person that was nicknamed "Punk" and "McNasty" while being a hight school student. Moreover, being a Vietnam War veteran who survived imprisonment shows that he is apparently strong enough and fit into dangerous and unstable political environment. He is just little too old (if he was inaugurated, he would be the second oldest president). At least, he seems to have a sense of humor. Or how could you explain that he often calls himself being "older that dirt" or having "more scars that Frankenstein"? Actually, being unknown outside US is nothing to worry about as the ones who are voting and making decisions are only Americans.
