Bush Out

I know that votes don’t count for much in what passes for democ­racy in the US, and that the elec­tion will prob­a­bly be decided in the courts once again, but if any Amer­i­cans read­ing could please place their mark next to John Kerry’s name, the rest of the world will be most grate­ful, since, with your help, there’s a chance we can avoid the end of the civilisation.

Thank you.

  2. Blimey. Let’s hope the num­bers stick at those levels. Though given the reli­a­bil­ity of exit polls last time, I’ll stick to feel­ing grimly pessimistic…

  3. Oh dear. I just stayed up most of the night watch­ing, and it wasn’t fun. There was a weird switch on some CNN exit polls, which – in the space of half an hour – went Kerry 52/Bush 48 to Kerry 48/Bush 52 for no appar­ent reason, and with­out any under­stand­able expla­na­tion … either way, it’s all wrong. Who’s run­ning in 2008?
