A few day’s back I was wondering that Obama is taking the lead against McCain in the US presidential elections 2008, but I think now it is really hard to assume who is going to win the elections?

The arrival of Sarah Palin in the elections scenario has changed the scene. Her arrival in the campaign boosted the chance of McCain against the Barack Obama, the democratic candidate for the presidential post.

A few day’s back the economic scenario in US steals the lime light from the elections. The economy was crashing and I am not sure if the people out there are blaming Bush for this or not. If people are blamming Bush for the downfall of the economy then I guess McCain would have also face the heat.

US is trying to recover from the economic crisis and might be at the end of the day McCain will emerge as the winner. Obama too got one slight blow from the Indo US Nuke deal too. What I found that people are thinking that they like McCain because he will make good relationship with other countries.

Although Barack Obama sent one letter to Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, regretting that he could not meet with him. (For more detail please visit http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/oct/03ndeal.htm). People might think that he too will manage the same type of policies with other countries.

So I think it is really tough to guess who is going to win the presidential elections. I will be waiting for your views about this question: Who is going to win the elections? Whom are you going to support? Please post your views in the form of comments.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday stated that India will very soon go to the IAEA for a safeguards agreement for the controversial Indo-US nuclear deal. However, he did not specify any date as to when exactly India would go to the IAEA headquarters at Vienna.

While heading toward Japan for G8 summit he spoke to journalists on board the special aircraft, “We have been assured that once we take the decision to go to the IAEA, the process will move very fast.”

“As soon as we decide to go to the IAEA, the matter will be in the court of its Board of Governors and we would certainly hope that the Board can take a quick decision. We have an agreed text which has been agreed to by the secretariat of the IAEA, so I would expect that the process would not take too long,” he added.

Singh, who will meet US President George W Bush on the sidelines of the summit on July 9, said that he would also discuss this issue of nuclear deal with other world leaders and will seek their support for the IAEA and the Nuclear Suppliers’ Group (NSG).

Very confidently and relaxed PM said, “Living with tension is part of the prime minister’s job in all countries, including India, but I am not under any unusual tension,”

Having a dig at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader L K Advani’s who stated that government should seek a trust vote, Singh said: “We will cross that bridge when we come to it. We are not afraid of facing the Parliament. We will abide by all the Parliamentary norms that should apply to the great democracy that India is. Advani need not give any advice to us.”

Singh further added that the BJP leader “need not give any advice” on the issue. Exuding confidence at the strength of his government, he said “there would be no early Lok Sabha polls.”
