I have friends in Missouri who are firmly Democrat this time (actually
they were last time, but their politics are a bit more complex than
that suggests); one is for Kerry and dislikes Edwards, one is
primarily for Edwards. The one's dislike of Edwards (for reasons with
which many in the UK would agree; I suppose I am more used to US
politics and law than they) is interesting; it does show the situation
is not simple.

We have that problem here too... but we have enough push towards what
some in the US call Communism, e.g. the NHS, to hold onto a fair
amount (I hope)!

I can't stand that lot and anyway he's lying: the deal is, Israel and
the Jews sink into the sea (aka hell?) as the righteous Christians
ascend. Or so I thought.

With luck, you could see the Republicans sink the way our Tories have,
but without getting a Blair who will outflank them on the right..
