I've always hated that "Dubya" nonsense, and it just struck me that if we do indeed follow a President called "Bubba" with one called "Dubya" we will have to forgive the rest of the world for thinking us a bunch of grunting neanderthals.

Even now I can't get excited about the whole thing, though it amuses me that it seems so very third world. Classic dynastic politics - let's face it, if Gore's daddy hadn't been a Senator he wouldn't be running for dogcatcher, and if Bush's daddy hadn't been President he wouldn't be running for dogcatcher - followed by spoiled ballots, protests on both sides, delayed results... it might as well be the Philippines.

Americans seem to love mediocrity; they will certainly have plenty of it, regardless of who wins.
