Every news programme has major coverage of the United States pre-election elections. We get in depth analysis of Hilary Clinton and Obama and some republican bloke. Ronald Macdonald, was it??? Could it be the first black or woman president?
Quite frankly WHAT'S IT GOT TO DO WITH US? we live in England and don't have a vote.

Of course, the final outcome of the REAL election, when someone hangs their chads and the US of A actually gets a new president will be of interest. Let's face it, we all need to know who has a finger on the button that can blow us all to hell, but what do we need to know about the ones who don't have their finger on ANYTHING?

I'm not having a whinge at Americans - I just don't know why the BBC are wasting so much of our time on something that really is not news to anyone outside of the United States.

Thoughts please...
Quack!
