After weeks of tireless campaigning and voting in the Leinz General Election “Personalities not Policies” I am very please to announce the results of who you all voted for. I was not too surprised by the result but it will be interesting to compare the clever little so and so’s who visit my site with the actual results.

Thanks for all those that took part.

With the 2010 general election soon to be upon us and the propaganda machine already in full motion, it seems this election is even more about personality than policies. Is there any way of telling the main parties apart or have they all just merged into one even less distinguishable blur.

I woke up on Wednesday to the vision of the new world that had arisen overnight from the ashes of republican America; wars had ceased, crime had just disappeared, poverty and disease no longer existed. This may be a slight exaggeration but if you had voted Barack Obama in the US presidential election it seems this is what you believed would happen.

Obama being sworn in is clearly a great moment in American and World history and will undoubtedly have a huge effect on how America is governed and perceived globally, but are people expected far to much from Barack? he seems to have been elevated from the realm of politician to messiah.

It is now only a few days until America finally cast its vote and gets rid of the tyrant George W Bush once and for all - but where will this leave Me. For all his downsides; war mongering, his cabinets connections to big business and that childish grin to name but a few traits he was a great target for me and any other sane person to laugh at and mock. Although I can only be happy that such a crooney is leaving a position that wields so much power.

Even though I need some political fodder to keep me going I am sure both new candidates will provide this over time - it’s the American way. McCain certainly appears to be of the same breed as good Old W, so if he gets to power I am sure I will have my hands full pretty quickly, whereas Obama appears a bit more clean cut which is likely to give me less ammunition, but alas it is not me that decides instead it is that crazy nation that is America.
