Early morning here in Australia, in pyjamas having coffee, yours is the first post I read - gotta tell you - the same was reported here on the late news last night. I was not surprised. Same happened here. Howard won re-election by a bigger margin than the previous. Why? You know the answer. SECURITY!

That is a very good point. Nervous nellies like me need to read encouraging reminders like this. I am cautiously optimistic that a majority of voters will also think security as they're pulling that lever and that Bush will exceed expectations.

You're welcome! I know how it feels. What was really strange in Oz, was that security as a subject was not overly mentioned in the campaign. The prime question was connected with leaving our (900 or so) troops in Iraq. The opposition promised to bring them home by Christmas. Howard said they would stay until the 'job was done' - yet everyone I spoke to personally and every editorial I read was connected with Security. I was telephone polled three times. Security was the first question asked. (Whom do you trust?) I believe the results of your election will be similar. Landslide coming up.
