Battle for America
With the presidential elections looming, all eyes are on America for one of the most exciting campaigns in recent memory. Will Americans elect their first ever black president, and what would it signify? Do Obama and McCain represent radically different visions of America’s future, and if so what are they?

And with the nation’s demography rapidly changing, what does it mean to be American anyway?
