>>Well I think with your country (like ours) heading for a few hard years you'll probably be very busy locking people up. Anyway as the Republicans don't seem to have any joined up policies at the moment they may not do so well. I saw the big republican hope on TV yesterday, forgotten his name, parents from India, I was not impressed.

>Are you thinking of the Lousianna governor perhaps? He's not the Republican hope. Every presidential address the opposite party provides one elected official to issue a 'rebuttal' to the media. It's always been that way. He's not a republican hope or anything of the kind, just the poor sod chosen to speak publicly and provide a rebut to Obama. Next time it will be someone else. Anyone following the great orator would look the fool... :o)
There was quite a bit of this sort of thing
