It's odd being out here in Japan waiting for the results of Tuesday's vote in the US, not least because it is Wednesday here already. As a former newspaper journalist I can attest to the tedium of collating local council results while wishing I could be at home to watch the national results on the telly. This time round I will be watching the results as best I can exclusively via the internet, and you can too with the handy widget I've bolted onto the bottom of this post, or watch the TV above. I will miss the traditional newsroom feast of delivery pizza, but I will raise a glass if the best man does indeed win.
By the way, the voting is complete in the
Tower Tales presidential poll. If its unfeasible results from 24 votes cast sometime in the last 185 days were replicated in real life, here is what would have happened:
- In fourth place with 8 percent of the popular vote: John McCain
- Third, with 20 percent: Hillary Clinton
- Second, with 29 percent: Barack Obama
- First, with 41 percent: None of the Above.

Thanks so much for the Obama clip - so good. And a worthy winner. Hooray!
Fired up and ready to go!
Well, anon, your fears have proved groundless. Nice link by the way, very good critique of the mess the neo cons made and what should be done now.
