Say, whatever happened to the Palin affair scandal? It just disappeared. I know it's trivial and irrelevant, but I was looking forward to it!

'legs ajar, stockings torn up'. A symbol of a politician? If you say so.

'Nancy Pelosi sitting on the sidewalk...' I don't know what to make of that baffling mysoginistic sideswipe, so I'll step around it.

Anyway, back to the post. One reason, as a UK (and global) citizen, I am absolutely desperate for an Obama win, is the environment. We are on the brink of an ecological catastrophe, and Obama is running on an alternative energy platform that is vastly different from McCain/Palin.

To call Obama a moderate Republican is just lazy sloganising - no Republican administration would ever commit to such a radical, state-driven energy policy.

Palin is finished. When the Republicans wake up on Wednesday and start to understand what's just happened, they will want to tear her eyeballs out. Look what that bitch did to us!! It's begun already.

Stunning photos. The two young supporters - it took a moment before I caught the tear rolling down her cheek. There's so much love in this campaign.

Thomas Andrews: The pumps will buy you time, but minutes only. From this moment on, no matter what we do, Titanic will founder.
Ismay: But this ship can't sink!
Thomas Andrews: She is made of iron, sir. I assure you, she can. And she will. It is a mathematical certainty.

A class act. A lot of subtle politics in there, as well. He was kind of inviting McCain to accept a graceful defeat, a rehabilitation, rather than struggle through the mud for three more weeks. Interesting to watch how McCain relaxed as it went on, as if he found the idea beguiling.

I don't suppose it will last.
