Clinton slays Obama in crucial New Hampshire race : "Mrs Clinton triumphed despite a flood of polls showing her with a double-digit deficit against Mr Obama."
I wonder if the Americans followed our elections? The good thing about this one is that we have some interesting people to follow and it is a far cry from the constant, mind numbing, negative drivel we were getting as our constant political diet. So unworthy of us. Yes, this election is going to be tight but so was the French one and that went right down to the last day and it was astounding. I still think they should have had the guts to back Ségolène Royal. Never mind. Sarkozy it is. So who will win this one? The positive upshot of this is we have had some really nice and experienced American political commentators as well as our own reporters on the ground in America, giving us a pretty detailed and helpful picture of the flavour of this election. This is real people talking to us. Real, educated, friendly, interesting Americans explaining their views and the scene...then we have our own reporters to cover their angles from our point of view. That has been so nice because there is a sense of people working together and forging genuine friendships. That is much better.Isn't that what globalization should be about? Not us being the same...us understanding the common ground and then the differences. We've got oxygen in the air! The annoying thing is last election I had found a site where you can look at all the states as they vote and so you can see the build up of the election outcomes around the country. Can't find the site. So annoying!
