After that Republican National Convention everyone seems to be a little "John who?"... argh. I'm a little disappointed with the way he's changed over the past few years, for a while there he seemed to be the most sensible person the GOP had. And even though this Palin campaign has come out with guns blazing it seems like it could unravel quite easily. Looking forward to seeing how Palin holds up in the firing line of reporters and Biden.
Also, I've never considered myself to be one to buy into all the knee-jerk anti-American sentiment we throw around in Australia, so it pains me a little to say it, but I don't have much faith in the American voting public to dig a little deeper into these candidates (on both sides) beyond the jingoistic rhetoric they'll be copping through TV ads and sound bites. There was an interesting column about the election in The Age today, I think it was sourced from The Guardian, you might've come across it. Can't remember the author or the title for the life of me, though.
