Here in the UK a significant cause for the change in fortunes is being reported to be the "angels with broken wings" - embittered female Clinton supporters who are now opposing Obama and supporting McCain - despite McCain's apparent wish to return to female enslavement by males. I watched with growing incredulity. A prime case of turkeys threatening to vote for Christmas.

I did however warn early on that Obama was not giving specifics on policies and that he was likely to be a middle-of-the-road man who would not truly fight for the working classes - or the environment. That is starting to look right.

Well done America. You ignored Kucinich who might have created a better world for you, and you kicked out Clinton who at least had some concrete pro-worker policies. Change my arse. Welcome to more of the same old same old.

And if you actually suffer teh election of McWar the no-brainer, you'd better pray for another grassy knoll to free you fromthe oligopoly. At least that way your "free and armed militia" might actually do something more useful than kill wildlife and each other.
