You really don't know much about American politics, do you?? There is still 7 weeks to go. Many an election has been decided at the very last minute, and surprised all the pundits. Perhaps you have not heard of the Truman/Dewey election, and there are many more where that came from. Your false confidence is, at best, amusing. At worst, it is asinine. ~H~

Europeans find Gore style energy taxes revolting: OSLO (Reuters) - The wave of fuel price protests sweeping through Europe regained momentum Monday after a weekend lull, while shaken governments scrambled to limit the political fallout. Monday's protests centered on Scandinavia but blockades sprang up at the Spanish port of Barcelona and in Slovenia, while Israeli truckers threatened to stage their own demonstrations from Tuesday. In Norway, demonstrators blocked 11 oil terminals at key ports along the south and west coasts, but later called off their protest under the threat of police action. . . . Conservative opposition leader William Hague called the protests ``a genuine taxpayers' revolt'' and said tax was now ''the hottest domestic political issue'' facing Britain. A weekend poll put the Conservatives ahead of Labor for the first time in eight years after the protests prompted a shortage of fuel and supplies not seen in Britain since the 1970s. dailynews.yahoo.com
