Obama And Hillary, Similar Views or maybe not

I was just reading up something on BBC's website about whether Clintons' support for obama has united the party. Before i make conclusions about that i was trying to search whether Hillary's ideas of transforing America were not really diferrent from Obama's. And i found atleast one common link, they both realise the economy has gone really downhil and it needs to be revived.

"Obama and his nomination opponent, Sen. Hillary Clinton, have talked about the economy throughout their now 13-month campaign. But their intensity on the topic has grown in recent months, as the housing crisis has deepened and the issue has become of greater concern to more Americans."(Obama on Economy:McCain is 'Third Bush term')

Anyway, currently i'm jus finding if Hillary's and Obama's ideas were similar, and they are both trying to make America better, then wudnt Hillary's supporters be automatically ready to give their votes to Obama. Well, im hoping that happens because i definitely don't want it to be a "third Bush term".

Is Pakistan better off without Musharraf?

im still wondering that...
i jus read a few articles and comments online from people discussing how democracy is important for pakistan, and although it might be true, but when faced with the choice of only zardari and nawaz-sharif, then i'd rather take the dictorship of musharraf anytime.
So I'm still wondering whether Musharraf's resignation will turn out for the better for Pakistan, or will it end up causing more chaos, particularly looking at the future with the possibility of Zardari at the head!!!
Before i leave, i came across this quote Musharraf cited in his book,
“Napoleon said that two-thirds of decision making is based on study, analysis, calculations, facts, and figures, but the other third is always a leap in the dark, based on one’s gut.”
