Paulo (1/10) editorialized: "In addition to the natural impact of the dramatization of politics in the media, there are several factors combined to explain the unprecedented interest in the complicated process, especially because it seems focused on only one party, the Democratic, which has been in the opposition for eight years and now has everything to return to the White House in November.... What monopolizes the world's attention at the moment is the identity of the Democrat candidate, whose responsibility will be to restore the U.S. moral leadership that George W. Bush diligently dilapidated. The main reason for such a curiosity is the expectation that the president to be inaugurated in January 2009 will be what none of the predecessors was: either a woman, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, or an Afro American, Senator Barack Hussein Obama."
