elections

the us elections loom ever closer.
pretty much all the people i know want a kerry victory.
there are two notable exceptions. tammi who wants a bush victory and will vote for him (don't do it tammi you know it is wrong, you know it is i keep telling you!), tammi is based in new york which will go to the dems.
the other person is nick, who is welsh and won't be voting, he has thought about a bush victory as he thinks it will be the thing that kills of the republicans for a long time to come. then he starts to think more clearly and like the rest of us he knows that another bush administration means 4 more wars.
the only other americans i know well enough to speak to about this are both going for kerry (hi adam, hi kevin).

yeah i want a kerry victory.

but more than anything i want a clean election. i don't want to be seeing a repeat of 2000 where the calls were it was a stolen election.
yet judging by the number of lawyers, dirty tricks that have been mentioned to prevent people from voting, i fear we may have a period of instability and accusations of foul play, dirty tricks and lies.
and it won't be much of an example to put before the iraqi's when comes to their turn to vote.

so heres to a night of sitting up watching the tv, watching the results come in and no matter who wins in the that america is united in the victory and the rest of the world can see it was a fair and true election.
(but lord let kerry win.)
