Most of the Americans I know who are based here rather than in the States are most avowedly Democrats. (Perhaps that's why they choose to live here....)

A small example of the sort of difference a Democrat victory could make.

Incidentally, a report I saw a couple of days ago suggested that the financial crisis and subsequent events in the legislature have seriously damaged McCain's standing, and that Obama is widely seen as the safer pair of hands if the economy becomes first priority. Does this fit with our American members' sense of the situation?

Which is why it's a good thing that this year the DNC have finally got themselves properly organised over registering overseas voters.

Yup.
This does seem to be reflected in the reaction to the latest debate and in all recent opinion polls. Is something good emerging from the economic situation?

What next? The realisation that Cameron (like McCain) would not be up to dealing with lofty economic matters?

The difference is I see no welcome alternative to Cameron. Undecided

Possibly of only passing interest, but here's a summary of the two candidates' respective records on the arts:

I'm relieved to find that my (hypothetical) vote hasn't been challenged by this.

I know I posted this before, and apologies if you've already heard it:

The Palin Song.

Some nice improvising there by a fellow named Henry Hay (sp?)

Very nice, Mr Fragment. I'm assuming that the whole thing was put together in a computer though. That's how I would have done it!

Is this thread title looking a bit premature perhaps?

Whoever is the next president we can be sure that Dubya is on his way out.  For that reason, when I stopped off in Brussels on my travels, instead of picking up the usual Leffe for my London friends I was tempted by a beer called 'Bush' which, at 12% vol, claims to be the strongest around.  I was sure my friends would enjoy toasting GW's departure with a couple of these; and it was only when I got them back to London that I noticed they were made by Dubu-is-son (oh, OK, I put the dashes in myself, but it's still quite a coincidence, isn't it?)

I'm not a gambling man, but I'm willing to predict, with a degree of confidence, that John McCain will win the election.

Quote from: Swan_Knight on 21:00:10, 02-09-2008
Whatever your politics, he's a good candidate: he understands campaigning and he understands what his electorate want.
 

 Grin

Quote from: Swan_Knight on 21:00:10, 02-09-2008
Recently, I read the comment that 'if the American people vote with their heart, they'll choose Obama; if they vote with their gut, they'll choose McCain'.

 Roll Eyes

Quote from: Swan_Knight on 21:00:10, 02-09-2008
Furthermore, McCain is able to offer a clear-cut stance on most issues

 Grin


Quote from: Swan_Knight on 21:00:10, 02-09-2008
McCain and the Republicans will find it easy to hang just about any defamatory hat on Obama that they please....most of them will seem to fit. 

 Grin

Quote from: Swan_Knight on 21:00:10, 02-09-2008
So...if you're a liberal/leftist, stop worrying and try to reconcile yourself to another four years of right wing government in America, with all that that means for foreign policy. 

 Cheesy


Quote from: Swan_Knight on 21:00:10, 02-09-2008
And if you're a conservative, relax: you needn't worry about a thing.


 Grin Grin Grin

Quote from: Swan_Knight on 21:00:10, 02-09-2008
Of course, the Democrats ensured they were going to lose long ago by ensuring that their candidate was going to be drawn from a shortlist of two, highly contentious, candidates.


 Cheesy

Quote from: Swan_Knight on 21:00:10, 02-09-2008
And there's an elephant in the corner here, too: the fact that many Americans (judging by the ones who confide in me) just don't feel ready for a black President - especially not a tryo one, like Obama.


 Grin Grin Grin 

Quote from: Swan_Knight on 21:00:10, 02-09-2008
Think about it....if Obama was actually elected, his lack of experience might actually set the civil rights cause back, which is surely something no sane person would want.

 Shocked

Quote from: Swan_Knight on 21:00:10, 02-09-2008
So...it's McCain, for better or worse.


 Grin x 140,000 million.
