Yeah if McCain had gotten in, they could have continued with the "bad Speeches, gaffes and memory lapse" jokes that Bush is so well known for, not to mention the old age and Palin jokes they could have made.Quote:

He's just been overshadowed by Obama, especially in international media. He's an intelligent, arrogant loudmouth.Quote:

I was happy to see Obama win... but unhappy to see a liberal state like California vote yes to their Proposition 8 and overturn some good progress they were finally making.
Yeah, the whole prop 8 situation is shockingly bad, especially for California.
+1 I agree. The timing is really odd too. On a Federal level America's taken a great stride forward in terms the realisation of equality, yet at a state level California could be seen as taking a step in the opposite direction. :/
Before Hillary Clinton surrendered her attempt in running for the Democrats presidential candidate I thought that it was an interesting competition between her and Obama as it meant that there was a possibility that the next American President could either be a woman or a black man - either way it would represent the next step in the realisation of egalitarianism in the United States.
Ironically Helen Clark has just lost in the Federal elections in New Zealand, thus ending the administration of NZ's second female PM.
Now... I wonder how long it will be before Australia will have a PM who's not a white male. Julia Gillard perhaps?
The Deputy PM demonstrates the Australian salute...
