Despite the fact that I am Canadian, I’ve found the coverage of this year’s U.S. presidential election extremely fascinating. (Even Sherwin is hooked!) In particular, I’m very impressed by the sophistication of a number of websites that have been tracking the plethora of polls and (in some cases) make predictions of what will happen on election day:

One comment
Conservatives feared capable of majority but weakening in the polls following the debates that no one watched because everyone was too busy gaping at Sarah Palin in dismay, Harper’s speechwriter resigning in disgrace after found to have plagiarized most of a 2003 speech, Stephane Dion incapable of leading Liberals to victory, especially in Qc, Jack Layton and the NDP pulling ahead in Greater Vancouver, Green Party set to send first MP to Ottawa.
Or at least, that’s where it was when I sent my ballot in this morning. It’s really nowhere near as fascinating and absorbing, or as shocking and exhausting, as the US elections. (I read the transcript of the VP debates last week, and am still a little in shock.)
