DisConnected: The US Election – Go Obama!

Wow! There is a US Election tomorrow. Obama leads the polls. A black man. His competition? A three times cancer survivor Vietnam Veteran who was held hostage by the Vietnamese. The dude can’t raise his arms above his head. Poor guy. Being a Presidential candidate means lots of waving, cheering and shouting but is anyone listening or watching? If Palin has been media trained, lets hope their strategy is to dumb things down. Our compliance with recent events is ironic in the context of almost 15 years of conservative Government in the US, Great Britain and Australia. It’s good to step back and think about the positive of 50 years of equal rights work. That’s an achievement. And so it could be argued that one should give credit to the last 15 years of Government. Did the left ever anticipate that its opportunity would arise from the failure of capitalism? I see recent developments as the end of an empire. In the context of social media the American message and its MO have been exposed. It now has no credibility and no power. Not to mention being bankrupt.But put this in the context of the virtual world where America is hugely dominant. What will replace the financial markets as the arbiter of influence and power? Anyway, getting off track. May God be with Barrack Obama. How would Palin expain that? My election party has been cancelled but tomorrow is a huge day and I am excited and scared.
