It's what makes good presidents/leaders generally tho' isn't it? - To lead in hard times into better ones?

Huzzah, here's hoping he lives up to the hope Obama represents and promises and brings genuine change rather than a different tone to the same old same old.

Have just watched the speeches, despite the McCain campaign becoming rather nasty and divisive, you got the feeling McCain wasn't entirely comfortable with it, and I have to say it's quite a heart-warming and conciliatory speech he gives, though clearly not appreciated by some in the crowd.

Well, quite. You do have to wonder sometimes if people (political leaders, singers even) look at their audience sometimes and think "are we the bad guys?"

That there's blue in the middle there.

From double Bush to a man who might have been strung-up for daring to run for any sort of office less than half a century ago. Quite incredible. A timely reminder of what a fascinating place America really is, once you see past the punped-up trucks, loony Christians, banjos and Fox News.

well, if you WILL hang around channels 500+ on your Sky box *Bob*..

Sky?? What do you take me for?!

Some sort of football-lovin' HD-obsessed four-eyed bitch bobbing up and down on Murdoch's pecker?!

Not me.
