US Elections

As I write this post the US mid term elections would be in its last leg. I wonder if and Americans have grown any wiser than the last time. Will they vote the republicans out of power? The whole world waits with bated breath to see if the American public displays its famous streak of imbecilism once more. I mean after a host of controversies centred around the Republican party if they still vote for them then there is something wrong here.
Lets see, the incompetent response to Hurricane Katrina (they were all Blacks in any case, why bother), the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal, The foley scandal, the Haggard scandal, the torture scandal, the shooting scandal, the martian scandal…that’s a lot of scandals to get going. After leading in the polls the democrats find themselves slipping in the crucial 72 hours before the polls. This is when the famed republican “get out the vote” machine wakes from its slumber and begins its inexorable march towards power. They trot out the same worn out issues of Guns, Gays and God and scare god fearing righteous red neck folk into voting for them. As for the democrats, they can only hope that all the bad news coming out of Iraq will find some resonance with the voters.

I wonder which party will triumph?
