Worldviews of McCain, Obama in perspective

The online edition of the Chigago Tribune has just published a fairly rational and balanced analysis on the divergent worldviews between John McCain and Barack Obama which may contribute to the foreign policy making and conduct of international relations of the post-Bush America. However, historical cases and patterns also show that a US presidential candidate may also say and do things which are different after he actually becomes the president because of many factors such as domestic pressures from lobby groups and/or changes of regional or/and international balance of power or/and influence. The choices of McCain's and Obama's vice presidents would also be very critical.
