DESPERATE TACTICS FROM REPUBLICANS SIGNAL OBAMA WIN
Sarah Palin. Has went way too far by linking Obama with terrorism.
I won't confess to having much interest in the US Presidential elections. There is very little difference between the Republicans and Democrats and whoever gets elected is unlikely to substantially change US policy worldwide.
The ignorant buffoon Bush has made America unpopular worldwide and yet he was elected for two terms, his folksy idiocy which the rest of the planet viewed with horror seemed (for the most part) to be just an indication that he was one of America's own.
I now confidently predict that Barack Obama will win the White House. The fairly smart and celebral McCain in an attempt to improve his image chose a young, inexperienced but attractive running mate to boost his credibility and give him the common god fearin' touch which served Bush well.
Unfortunately Sarah Palin is also a loud mouthed ignorant bigot. Her lack of knowledge of the outside world has been painfully obvious in her TV interviews and her harsh but carefully crafted sound bites haven't covered up her basic incompetence.
McCain had signalled that he was going to move into personal attack territory. However Palin has now severely overstepped the mark. Calling a presidential candidate a friend of terrorists is just too desperate to work.
This is the end of the McCain challenge as is forcefully argued here much of his appeal was that he seemed a bit different from the rest of the discredited Republican machine (people had became sick of Bush and his party eventually) but now his campaign has shown he will do and say anything to get elected. He's lost it and will now lose the election.
Comgratulations Obama. I hold no hope that you will do anything great but you can't be much worse than the last one.

You talk about desperate, well how desperate is this
Alex Salmond is to travel to Qatar to ask the oil-rich state to loan funds for capital projects, such as the new Forth Road Bridge.
Responding to the story, Shadow Finance Secretary Andy Kerr said:
"It is clear from these reports that the SNP's Scottish Futures Trust is in absolute chaos. In over a year since they came to power, SNP Ministers have failed to commission a single new school.
"Now we learn that Alex Salmond wants to borrow money from Qatar to build a new Forth Road Bridge, but his visit isn't planned until next year.
"The people of Fife deserve straight answers now about how the new bridge will be funded. It appears that Alex Salmond wants to make everyone wait several months, until after he's been on a jolly to Qatar."
The post is about the US elections so it would have been possibly more useful if it had some relevance towards that. The SNP had a plan for a better alternative to PFI which because of the limitations of the Scotland Act they were unable to implement.
They are doing their best with the limited powers at their disposal but we still need independence and this issue is a prime example of why. Labour previously used PFI which meant vast profits for the private sector at the expense of the public purse. This shows their ultimate hypocrisy as they are supposed to represent workers ie 'labour' but they clearly don't.
