    Don,

    I don't really care about the Republican Party, and I'd imagine changing its nature is a task beyoned most mortals.

    All I'm saying is that for a year or so we've heard how he was an indepandent maverick, and the only evidence I'd seen of that was that Bush beat him in 2000.

    I thought he was your typical Republican reptile, backed up by the choice of Palin.

    But tonight I saw what the fuss was about. I guess it was the surprise factor that made his speech more memorable than Obama's

    Wouldn't the world be a better place if he's beating Dubya in 2000?

    Your best work Che.

    Obama was bloody good, but McCain actually gave me goose-bumps.

    And I'd never rated him much before at all. Kind of highlights his gaffe in picking Palin. If he's been himself from the start who knows?

    Having said that; what a huge improvement on both sides from 2004.

    Re TVNZ coverage.

    Can someone point out to Diane Foreman’s boyfriend that winning California is not “imperative” to winning the overall race.

    I’d have though that was bloody obvious.

    Is the USA the only country in the world where they’re counting and publishing votes while the polls are still open in 90% of the country?

    Well yes,

    Except there have been a few weeks over the last couple of months which would make more sense to give them that award.

    Isn’t it ironic how the Democrats were able to wheel out all their failed candidates from campaigns past (Gore, Kerry, even Edwards) to good effect.

    And the Republicans were forced to hide the guys that actually won those elections in some dark cupboard out the back of the White house.

    Apologies if this has already been said…


    But the thing that does my head in when following US elections is how they get the colours the wrong way round.

    Even after all these years it still gets me when they go on about a “sea of Blue / red” states etc..

    Why do they get everything wrong?

  • Hard News: God's squads,

    So if the NZ First vote was to collapse in the next few days, where would it go?

    Apologies for the slightly tricky question, but attempting to get inside the minds of NZ1st voters has been a bit of a hobby of mind for the last 15 years. And I’m no better at it now either.
