The world holds its collective breath.

As usual it became Tuesday 4th November in Europe before America, but what kind of a result are we hoping for here?

I can’t say for sure, but I can say that the one McCain supporter I have met, changed his mind the moment Palin was selected as his Vice President candidate. So that should give a general impression on what Europe hopes for. But, since it is all out of our hands anyway, we can all just lean back, cross everything we have to cross and relax, while we enjoy something this campaign has had more of than any other before it. And that is Comedy!

Biden on Leno on McCain.

Joe Biden has finally hauled himself out of hibernation and made an appearance. On national television! Not bad, considering his rival Sarah Palin gets more media coverage than John McCain, mostly due to her unrelenting use of her own family for the republican campaign.

 

Senator Biden seemed relaxed and comfortable in the company of Jay Leno. When asked about his friend John McCain, he said that McCain doesn’t seem like himself at this stage of the campaign. ‘He seems a little more angry than he normally is’, Biden observed after Leno referred to the comical facial expressions during Thursday’s debate. Biden continued to say that he didn’t think McCain was comfortable with the negative turn taken in his campaign.

Biden’s disappointment.

Joe Biden used to have a good friend called John McCain. He doesn’t anymore. After the latest attacks from the McCain/Palin camp, Biden has had enough and is hitting back, saying he is immensely disappointed in his former pal. McCain was civil during Tuesday’s debate, but when speaking at a rally in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the tone was totally different.

As his campaign is trailing in the polls the Republicans have come up with a new strategy; to create uncertainty and worry as to what Obama will do if elected. ‘Who is senator Obama’ asked McCain. ‘What he says today and what he has done in the past are two completely different things’, he continued, before following up with ‘broken promises’ and that Obama cannot be trusted. The whole speech was peppered with words like ‘socialist’, ‘terrorist’ and ‘liar’.

Failin’ Palin

It was just a month ago when John McCain introduced Sarah Palin to the world outside Alaska. Early polls suggested that she could lift the Republican campaign with her youth and femininity. But Palin has failed to perform. After her very successful speech at the Republican National convention, she has almost been sheltered from the media, giving very few interviews compared to her rival, Joe Biden.

Comeback Clinton!

Joe Biden has made a few errors lately. This can cost him dearly, as Obama has a way of replacing him. Biden’s errors are embarrassing for the Obama campaign, but few think they have an impact on opinion polls. Rumors are circulating in the US about this, and Obama’s campaign has yet to deny it. Is this because Barack Obama has finally admitted that choosing Biden as his running mate might have been the beginning of the end?

Joe Biden? Who?

Maybe John McCain got it right for once. In picking Sarah Palin as his running mate. She is young, pretty with an adorable family and controversial. Not only is she a woman, but she is a pretty though one, too.

Her excellent speech at the Republican convention threw her into the media spotlight, her remarks about Barack Obama and the now infamous lipstick joke being the high points.
