hehe...the ‘newsreader’ on our public broadcasting service gleefully announced tonight ‘and in the United States Obama leads the race by 10 percentage points, having raised another one hundred and seventyfive million dollars in the past month...’
A comment obviously directed at the hundred thousand or so expat Americans living in Australia...it’s like telling them don’t bother to vote for McCain, it’s all over. The H*ell it is!
Well put. Obama may have raised $175 million, but he did so by eschewing public funding of elections and accepting illegal contributions from foreign sources. Also, there is no 10 per cent lead for Obama — that illusion (lie) evaporated when John McCain announced his choice for VP.
