The Republicans seem to be fleeing McCain like rats off a sinking ship--Buckley's son and Colin Powell are the latest defectors. Dare one hope that the Democrats will not, as usual, grasp defeat from the jaws of victory?! Just FYI Mackenzierna, Obama received 150 million *this month.* Mind-boggling.

We down here do not have bilingual debates - in fact our debates are in some arcane language which has no rules of grammar, spelling or pronunciation. And I believe that we are much better at working up crowds to threaten the lives of the opponents while blithely ignoring the realities of the world. 27 days may be too short but i am convinced that 2 years is too long.
