You don’t have to be an Obama fan, gentledove. All points of view are welcome here. Heck, I don’t believe in royalty but that doesn’t stop me from visiting the UK.

Good to see you…and you might enjoy a post here called Letter From London, about how our elections look to one Brit.

Hi, it’s not just a return curtesy, I’ve been here before, but thanx 4 your comment, I am more interested than u might expect in US politics, here I support labour so I ought to b an autodem but well, I really don’t like this Obama, and well even if u have 2 admire HC 4 a scrapper, so I am kind of lost on the arguments. Love the yanks as I do, I’m glad I’m not one in this election.

Oy, John and Joe on the same ticket? The Straight Talk Express would be renamed the Grey Hair Express.

Seriously, I share your concern but I’m encouraged by a new Zogby poll that finds Obama with a 10 percentage point lead over McCain among likely voters and a broad willingness of Democrats to vote for him. That flies in the face of exit poll results generally showing only half (or fewer) Clinton supporters would vote for him.

I wrote about it on Barry! if you’re interested.

My concern about the way this is playing out is the obvious: he is taking the transparently liberal states, and she is winning the moderate states.

He is going to have to get a strong moderate for the VP slot . . . Liebermanesque, almost. Hopefully, not that far afield.

Also wouldn’t be surprised if McCain asked Joe to be his running mate.

Oy. Oy. Oy.
