Damn.... why does it fall to me to be the bearer of bad news? You may not have the campaign ads, but the politics, assuming O'bama (still can't help meself, ever since I found out the lad is Irish) are going to get downright bloody. You may count on attacks and nastiness beginning the day after the election, and it will escalate into some of the nastiest stuff you have seen yet. The only way that won't be the case is if, when it happens, the public reacts strongly and with no tolerance for it. But maybe we will get a short respite........ hope springs eternal. Ugly stuff, this rescuing, rebuilding, and restoring a nation.

All the best,

Mick
