With less than one week until Election Day, Barack Obama maintains a clear lead over John McCain in the presidential race. Although the figures include both heavy supporters of each candidate and those not fully committed. The idea of politics in general reminds me of the politics in The novel the Iliad. the entire novel was of The Great Odysseus and his journey home. Along his way home his pride got the best of him. It was as if he was selling himself to the people he passed i.e. a politician. Odysseus also feels comfortable in his power and majestically.
