The.World.In.2008（from the economist）

Two big events will frame the year ahead: America’s presidential election and the
GV |3e9S3[ summer Olympic games in Beijing. The race for the White House will be a marathon, X-X1e3`6J q}
from the front-loaded primary season in January and February to the general
D;`+yb]4R6B election in November. The betting is that the winner will be a Democrat—with a N f5G8_UT
strong chance that a Clinton will again be set to succeed a Bush as leader of the free C2bG{_Td

world. China, meanwhile, will hope to use the Olympics to show the world what a
0Vlah E:_ q@&GA.FiY splendid giant it has become. It will win the most gold medals, and bask in national

BH.L*pY!U around the world in 2008. One of these is the world economy, which can no longer D#K3{9znYb
depend on America, with its housing and credit woes, to drive growth. America
