Perhaps you should urge your readers to vote Libertarian, John? The US needs a viable third party. I agree with your views on the candidates.

We already knew the BBC was going to be first of all pro- Hillary and then pro-Obama. We knew they would loathe Mrs Palin and keep mum about Biden. We knew they would write off Bush and anyone associated with him. We knew there would be no serious discussion of the economy or foreign policy. Why have we had to spend so much on the illustration of their shallow and entirely predictable approach? A Kenyan student abandoned his Kansas girlfriend and their baby. That baby grew up into an attractive young man after having been brought up by her and her parents. Now we are told he is "Black" and must therefore be the next leader of the Free World, for the sake of "change", and that if the Americans don't do what their media masters and ours have been telling them to do, then they are "racists". I seem to remember early on in the brainwashing process hearing real African Americans, who bore the full history of slavery on their shoulders, protest that he was not one of them. Where then is the "racism" in all of this? And what do you call saying you must vote for someone because he had a Kenyan father, and not because he has a clear idea of what to do to save his country and the world from poverty and war? The most alarming thought in all of this is that Iran may test him in a way they might not his opponent. And who can forget the number of wars the things-can-only-get-better brigade landed us in after 1997? The good thing about him is his temperament. Should he win, one can only hope he will be able to call on the very best advice and have the self control to act on it, whatever the fashionable world is saying at the time. I agree with APL.

His approach reminds me of one Tony Blair and we all know to our cost what resulted from his election. JR: “I praised Mr Obama’s rhetoric and campaigning ability”

Also, pulling out of Iraq will prove way more difficult than he thinks. In short, if he does win, politics per se, has ended and they are now electing the X-factor/pop idol president. He will enjoy all the success of Jimmy Carter being equally competent. For all the religous nut-jobs cluttering up the Republicans and McCain's apparent frailness, I'm hoping for McCain/Palin. Mrs Palin incidentally, despite all the slurs is the only leading politician about to see her own children deploy in Iraq. I'm guessing we won't see Euan Blair there anytime soon, showing Tony was happy to send other people's children to war, Mrs Palin will send her own. This should probably tell us something.
