The big election has gotten me to thinking about the democratic process.
I've decided, (and don't much care if I'm the only person who thinks so) that in the end, regardless of what lengths you go to be informed, you vote for the guy you think put on the better show in his campaign.
You can research policies and listen to platform promises all you like, at the end of the day these things are not proof of character, they're just lines in the production. You'll never truly know, unless you elect him, if the character you're seeing in the campaign is the real candidate or just a facade.
You have something they want...your vote. Never be fooled into thinking that they won't do anything to get it.
Having said that...go Obama!

If we look at our own front yard, it's remarkable how many of Rudd's promises appear to have followed the path of Howard's famous 'non-core prmoises'.
Happy happy days
Instead, I had it on my screen, making it smaller when anyone passed the glass pane of my office.
