Paddy, das ist ISLAND.
Da gibt's drei Felsen, Geysire, 300.000 Einwohner (oder so) und sonst nix. Die haben sicher nicht mal Konzerthalle, damit beim Staatsbesuch dann Jin auftreten kann _._

the feeling right now here is that we really can't tell who will win because the margin is too narrow and there are other reasons why many people won't vote Obama/Biden...debates don't really matter because in the last election Democrats actually won those but lost the election. It's really the swing voters and the swing states who matter. One thing problematic about it is that Palin has really this charisma which I don't think Biden has. Like, my dad's a democrat but he can't remember Biden's name! A lot of it depends on how candidates look good in front of the camera! My theory is that the uglier and not so nice looking candidate and/or his/her spouse matters. I think Kerry didn't get elected because he looked like Lurch and his wife looked like a bitch^^ See, if we forget about race for a split second, Mrs. Obama's eyebrows look nasty and don't look as friendly as Palin's!!! Yup, media advisors here should take lessons from japanese stylists about how to make yasashii eyebrows!!!!
