Margo: republic rather than democracy? That sounds interesting! I really don't understand American politics, but I'd sure like a Dummy's Guide explanation of that, for my file!

I'm still amazed that the Media are allowed to publish exit polls before all booths across the country have closed. I supposed they'd base their argument on Freedom of the Press but responsibility should be part of freedom. A fair election should take priority over who grabs the first news bulletin, surely?
