The US election

is upon us!

I'm pumped.

Although, I thought Lairdy's comments on Sunday night were quite pertinent. His words were to the effect that people's support for Obama is not so much to do with his track record, but to do with the hope that he represents. And then Lairdy told the story of how his wife then said "A lot of people are going to be disappointed then..."

I'm an Obama supporter, and I was a Rudd supporter, but I think both men will suffer the same fate - ultimately people will be disappointed when the unrealistic hopes and ideals that they've associated with either man are dashed. Afterall, they're human. But I don't think that's a reason not to be optimistic.
