Hillary Clinton wins. Media much relieved.

Their chosen juggernaut -- the "inevitable" candidate -- has won New Hampshire to nix the ghosts of Iowa. Not only that, they get to have more high ratings from Americans tuning in to see what's what.

And, of course, more millions upon millions of paid political advertising.

Oh what a lovely election show!

Crocodile tears

I guess I'm lucky in being an impartial (albeit slightly worried) observer of the latest election circus, but I'm still amazed by the way the voting public was swayed by a show of tears. For crying out loud, Nixon cried... and look what you ended up with there.

What concerns me more, however, is the fact that the Democratic race (which will come down to whoever has the most money will win anyway) seems to be geared along the lines of deciding is the US is more sexist or more racist. From my corner of the world, it looks like a no-win situation to me.

Luckily, whatever happens, it still means that soon we'll be able to see Bush on TV and go "Who?"

Haven't you been watching

Haven't you been watching the returns? Money isn't making the difference. Something else is, and the television media are quietly freaking out. After all, if you don't need to buy the most tv ads to win, then what will happen to the networks' bottom lines?
