front-runner
Filed Under American Culture (アメリカの文化), vocabulary |
Politics is front and center in America right now and the word front-runner is used to express the person currently in the lead, in other words, the front-runner is the person in first place. In Japanese, this is called yuusei 優勢（ゆうせい） and as of today the front-runner in the democratic nomination for president of the United States, is Barack Obama, or is Hillary Clinton. Well, we definitely know it is not John Edwards. Good luck to all the candidates and hopefully they will each have a chance to be the front-runner.
