these australians did a pretty good job on clinton. early days as it might be, it does look as though obama has all the momentum. the kennedy’s have come out for him, and will presumably be followed by other democrat grandees. the republican side is harder to call. i don’t think such an old fart as McCain could be elected in Britain, but in the states i just don’t know. Romney is the status-quo guy, Paul seems to be the underground’s favourite but isn’t getting enough attention, whilst giuliani is a fucking vampire and is about to get a stake driven through his cold heart (can’t find the link i was after - but it means he’s going to lose big in florida). my guess would be it’s going to be obama Vs mccain, the most popular change candidates.
Rob said the other day that he wanted the contest to be between John Edwards and Guiliani in a big Good Vs Evil fight so that the m’fuckers go down hard. I don’t. i’d like both parties to pick someone who professes anything but the status quo. The US is in deep shit and could do much to extricate itself from the worst of its inevitable decline. A consensus for change would be welcome to the little states hanging of america’s coat-tails, of which my country is one. By november we are all going to be well and truly mired in economic concerns. some blairish “only way is up” sentiment is going to be required. young and popular with all demographics would be good. and then we wait for the shooter.
