Obama All set to Face McCain

Posted on: May 08, 2008

Tuesday’s primary results of North Carolina and Indiana have plainly made Senator Barack Obama the apparent winner in the Democratic presidential race. Triumphant Obama gets himself prepared for changing gears to face-off the Republican resistance.

By changing his metaphorical target on Republican John McCain, most probable Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama appealed to the encouraging supporters in North Carolina that he’s running for president to prevent what he calls a “third term” for President Bush.

“At this defining moment in history – a moment when we’re facing two wars, an economy in turmoil, a planet in peril – we can’t afford to give John McCain the chance to serve out George Bush’s third term,” Obama said to USA Today.

McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds has retorted to Obama’s comments by
e-mailing reporters that “Despite what he’d like Americans to believe, Barack Obama’s pledge to raise taxes on families and his votes to support the bill that he now claims ‘is written by the oil companies for the oil companies’ is not a fake controversy, it’s Obama’s actual record.”

Senator Obama at one stage was considered to be an under dog in the race for Democratic presidential race with the defeat in Pennsylvania and eruption of Wright controversy. But Obama emerged as clear frontrunner by getting huge amount of margins in North Carolina and losing very narrowly in Indiana.

Pro Clinton camp Democrats are slowly coming to terms to agree to her defeat and to accept Senator Barack Obama as their Presidential candidate.
The Campaigning in the run up to general election could unplug many new controversies and debates. Healthcare is likely to be a life-size issue as healthcare costs has outpaced inflation in recent years.
McCain already came out with a proposal to introduce market-based health plan. Obama wants required coverage for children only, under the theory that “if you make healthcare affordable and accessible, you don’t have to force it on everyone”.
This debate could take center stage between Democrats and Republicans in the days to come.
