@axxxr - Well CNN survey shows that the fight is neck-and-neck between the two! So, let's just wait and see . . . as they are on their last hurrah - homestretch!  |

Just checked another more objective poll site: kerry 58%, bush 25%. Expect 70+ voter turnout. Also the army has lost 300 pounds of high explosive in iraq.

The whole American political scene depresses me. Had either candidate put up the sort of performance they have anywhere in Europe they would have been laughed off the stage. And had the Haliburton contract happened in any African country the US would have denounced it as corrupt.

i think the us political sence is a good example to the rest of the world on how not to elect people.
as far as i can see the us is going to get whoever win an inept unknowledgeable fool.
neither seems to have any policies as far as i can see and the election seems to be fought with who has the most money for adverts and who did nt make a fool of themselves on tv. beyond that neither seem to have a clue.
i aint saying the uk system is perfect but neither one would be able to be elected over here as the british public despite getting my apathetic are not quite in the political coma the us seems to have been in for the last 10- 20 years.i know not all americans are like this as the ones who come on here prove but sadly the vast majority do appear to be. |

On Radio 4 yesterday the reporter was asking some Americans their voting intentions; "Bush, because he loves the Lord". Now, I appreciate that faith is important to many people but I can't imagine ANYONE in the UK voting for Blair because he's Christian or Howard because he's Jewish. And someone was voting "Bush, because he's made the world a safer place". ALL the evidence suggests the opposite. What's the point of "democracy" if you're too stupid to use it?

@abs
Totally agree. If the American politicians come to this side of the Atlantic and commence the same speeches they conduct over on their side then they will be laughed off. I can't stand Blair just like I hate Bush, but at least Blair is articulate... I mean Bush even struggles to answer at all if asked a not so dull question by a member of the public.

I also accept that many people have genuine moral concerns around abortion and pro-lifers are rallying around Bush because he's anti-abortion. But isn't he the guy who started the illegal war of aggression against a defenceless nation causing the deaths of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND INNOCENT CIVILIANS? What sort of morality values an unborn child more than an innocent born child?

Well, let’s just hope that Bush is kicked out of the Whitehouse. I watched Question Time last night on BBC1 broadcasted from Miami and all the panellist seemed to think that there might be a repeat of 2000 elections when the whole fiasco of incorrect vote counting took place

It's worrying the way Bush goes on about "democracy" and they can't even manage to count the votes properly. And I read that 58,000 postal votes have vanished in to thin air in Florida. If it wasn't so serious it would be farcical. |

Exactly....how is it democratic to win an election in a dodgy way like Bush did in 2000. I mean how is that different from a dictator coming into power? Bush, came into power the same way! In addition, it's just so annoying that the most powerful man on this planet is also the most dumbest one. |
