This debate, just like the Iraq war, the War on Terror, and the elections, is tending to drag the whole world in too (don't see many German - Christoff excluded - or French contibutions, though :-) )

It's sad that you'll have to vote on the less disagreeable of just 2 men to decide the world's fate for the next 4 years. No-one seems to like either of them. At least with Carter, Reagan, Clinton and, of course, JFK, you had some quite affable guys (or they would be in normal life).

You know, watching the debates, from a British viewpoint, it all seemed very ill-mannered (not to mention the acrimony of the whole election). They kept referring to each other as "He" and "Him". In the British parliament MPs never even refer to each other by name. It's always "My honourable" friend or "My right honourable friend" (if a minister or scretary or something, I think), or "the member for *constituency name*".

Just my two penn'orth
