With what seems to be a very high turnout, it makes it appear even more legitimate, which is a tad bizarre. Even more odd though is the silly queueing for hours, the thousands of lawyers as 'observers', the 'non-working' computers with no paper trail of votes cast, the whole voter registration process, the reports of telemarketing companies calling people up in marginal areas, telling them that they could vote the next day too (they couldn't) etc etc.
There was a guy on the TV last night waiting to vote, for Kerry. I really felt for him when he commented that he feels embarrassed talking to his friends in Europe about Bush and his weird ways. Looks like he'll remain so for another few years yet.

Damn Damn Damn.
There was no abuse last time either was there - not. What chance ever getting a connected and world aware executive in the good ol' USofA?
And they dare to impose "democracy" on other nations.

Last night, most seemed to feel that the high turn out would favour Kerry, the Democrats traditionally getting the 'young' and the 'black' vote (these are evidently the ones that do not turn out to vote normally). They were almost forecasting a Kerry victory. On CNN this morning, the commentators felt the swing towards Bush was due to many more than normal Anglican/Christian (?) voters marching to the polls. Evidently the "God Squad" are seriously worried about US morals, and they favoured Bush to deliver their requirements in this respect.
You can just see Bliar rubbing his hands in No 10, looking forward to duffing up a few Mullahs in 'Eyeran'.....this is really bad news for us surely?
It seems however, that he too will get back in next year, there being no decent Opposition Party seemingly able to take him on. Depressing indeed.

Remember the old story..
We live in a Monarchy and have a Monarch in charge
Monaco is a Principality and have a Prince to look after them.
Luxembourg is a Grand Duchy and has a Grand Duke....
Saudi is a Kingdom and has a King...
and so on till we get to
America is a Big Country and ?????
And it isn't going to change...
Cheers Bob E..

CNN interviewed a voter last night, who had previously voted for Bush, and had even contributed $2000 to his campaign four years ago, "dollars that I could not really afford...."
She was voting Kerry this year because "she was more afraid of Bush than Osama Bin Laden". Says it all really......

Sadly...
...it does look frighteningly as if it will be the same old comedy routine of Bush and Blair once again.
Bush as the Yanks don't seem to have the sense to get rid of him, Blair as we have no valid alternative...4 more years of The War Against Terror (TWAT)!

If the yanks had any sense instead of voting for Bush they should drag him to the nearest lamp post and string him up for the war criminal he is.

I dont wish to start an argument, but merely introduce a bit of balance. I am not a great Bush Jnr supporter as I dont think he is anywhere near as capable as his father. However, I am very far from being a Kerry supporter. He initially made a big thing about being a "war hero", and there were some releases of his military reports. If you understand what is written in these and the tenor of them, the thought of this man becoming the President would frighten yoy completely out of your wits.

None change whatsoever
I for one can't remeber a single election in any country that made any detectable change from the previous encumbents.
Blair/Major - no change
Major/Thatcher - no change (Snatch even said that the country was safe with Blair)
Wilson/Heath - no change
The same is true in the USA.
They all lie, obfuscate, blame the last lot for the state we're in, make constant excuses when they don't improve matters, shag the secretary and get kicked out.
The "system" is so large; has so much momentum - that it rolls on regardless.
Christ that's miserable!

And GW Bush's war record is what exactly? And why is miltary experience so important for a US politician? Think I'd prefer to vote for someone who was actually pretty crap in the forces.

That's the problem with this country as well - the opposition (don't deserve a capital 'O'), are pretty inept and opportunistic. The view from many in the USA is they don't like Bush and his combative ways, but voted for him anyway because Kerry does not come over as a decisive leader. Personally, I feel that the World could do with a less aggressive 'West' for a while, which is why I will vote for Michael Howard when the time comes (Feb?) - we need a "steadier/safer" pair of hands in charge than we currently have.....
I'm not normally a politically motivated animal, but the Bush/Blair alliance has really got me wound up!

I wo'nt vote for the Tories IMHO they have ruled themselves out by marginalising themselves on just about everything. The Lib/Dems have earned my respect with the way that the leadership have acted with integrity in recent issues, perhaps its a wasted vote, I do'nt know, but they're getting mine .. for the first time I might add! I've always been a "natural" tory with the inclusive one nation party of McLeod/Heath being my preferred polical colour.
