Okay, so here's a question for my US-ian friends. What the hell is Obama doing?? For months, the way things have been reported over here, he's been pretty much a shoe-in for the White House. But now, I'm reading quite a lot of stuff about how he and the Dems are being "too nice" to McCain - who, by the way, sounds like a total whack-job - and how, despite the fact that Hillary dropped out of the race so that we weren't going to be faced with the prospect of the Dems eating their young at the convention, a shed-load of her supporters say they're going to vote for McCain. I mean, WTF?? So you're narked that Clinton didn't get the nom, okay... but cutting off your nose to spite your face isn't really the way to go, is it?

I was pleased to see that Hillary gave a stonking speech in favour of Obama, and that she appears to be the only one who's got the guts to remind people that voting for McCain is tantamount to voting for another 4 years of Dubya - I mean, I read something today about the Dems being wary of being rude to or about him. Did I miss something? Is this politics or a tea party?

I'm sorry - here I am sitting across the pond ranting on about something about which I know very little; other than that we don't want another 4 years of Bush either! So come on guys - please don't screw it up!
