I live in Croydon, south London, and I'm a student at Warwick, so I live in Leamington Spa during term time (i.e. now). Will be coming back down south after I graduate next summer.
This is one of the happiest days of my life. I stayed up until around 8am British time (3am EST), got about 2 hours sleep, and then woke up again to check the latest on OH. Kerry has now conceded, and DU is cracking up. Heaven.
This is nothing to be worried about. NH is only 4 EC votes, which we will (probably) offset by winning NM. NJ was never a likely win, or a necessary one.
Good to see a lead in Ohio, however narrow. I am getting very nervous about that state. Hopefully, the Governator will make an impact on waverers today.
I read the Spectator most weeks, but I don't have any respect for their editorial line. It is a publication dominated by condescending, Bush-bashing Old Tory patricians. The only contributors I admire are Steyn and Michael Gove.
Exactly. Gillespie and the rest of the campaign should be making a rebuttal ad about this, not relying on word-of-mouth from us. Kerry is such a slime-bucket.
Fantastic news. I spend all day fretting about OH and FL and it is beginning to affect my health and sanity. Every scrap of good news keeps me going for a few hours.
I just saw a report from Colorado on BBC News here in the UK. The BBC correspondent interviewed two families from either side of the political divide, and the Democrat family was absolutely mental. They looked normal enough initially but, as soon as they got started on the topic of Bush and Iraq, they turned into paranoid freakos muttering darkly about being intimidated by the Bush administration and fearing the consequences of his re-election. They were from Boulder.
Robert Redford was there saying he would emigrate to London if Bush won. I'm sure that's going to make the average Colorado swing voter pull the lever for Kerry. Not.
