When Barack Obama became the presumptive nominee back about a month ago, you could feel the excitement in the Democratic party and its supporters. It was one hell of a race between Hillary and Barack, but it had finally come to an end. That was the starting point of the battle between John McCain and Barack Obama – a race, mind you, which was supposed to be unique.
However, sitting here about a month later, I'm wondering what's so different. Yes, Barack is black, that's definitely something incredible, but I'm talking about the issues. Taxes, the economy, war plans, haven't we already heard this before? What I'm trying to get at is so far, this race between Obama and McCain has been the ultimate anticlimax. What do you think?

It definitely has been dull. I think that is because for Democrats, the big race has already happened. We all know where we stand on the issues, and the biggest issue for us was who would represent those issues in the general election. Now that Obama has won the nomination, it is almost a matter of waiting until he's elected (or so the feeling is).
Yeah, I think that it is definitely a bit boring right now. Both candidates are just biding their time, and neither has chosen a running mate yet. Right now it seems like a slow point, because both sides are just strategizing and planning, rather than taking much action. It makes sense to get your general-election game plan prepared before you rush into anything. But hey, there's still four months left, I'm sure things will heat up soon.
