For some reason, the public broadcasting station (radio) in Boston broadcasts BBC news early in the morning while the locals are waking up and looking for the 'on' button to their coffee makers.

who won the Revolution, anyway? (visions of Paul Revere returning from warning the colonists settling down with a crumpet and a (very) antique wireless tuned to the Beeb)

They are interviewing a pollster paid by the BBC who says:
1) The Kerry effect - During the US election Kerry gave American voters lots of reasons to vote against 'W', but not enough reasons to vote FOR Kerry. Likewise, the Conservatives have been beating on Blair but generating severe revulsion in voters against voting for Michael Howard.
2) So a lot of folks are induced to vote Liberal Democrat, even though few can tell you what they stand for!

The pollster says Blair will win and the Lib Dems will place a stronger than expected third. (BTW, he's American)








I think it goes to show what we've known all along: Democracy's for suckers!
