Londoners for Obama?
I am writing closer to the scene, being from Chicago. The world, I think, should paying attention to the U.S. elections. One candidate, who has a very good chance of winning is Barack Obama.
His being President of the United States, I believe, would not only change that country, but would change the world. I would encourage you to go directly to the candidate; go to his speeches on U Tube, (or some other venue).. and listen to him.
Recently he spoke at Butte Montana, and it was a strong coherent speech, I think, that would tell you much about this candidate and what he believes in.
Other ways, are to read his autobiographical books: Dreams of My Father (which I've started to read, & like), & The Audacity of Hope (haven't read).
This man is different; he's not cut from the same cloth as other politicians...and I've witnessed a non-stop smear war against him from the neocons This makes me believe, that of all the candidates, he is the least likely to give them the wars that they want. This is important.
The next president of the U.S. could have consequences for the whole world. Had it not been for Bush, there would not have been an Iraq invasion and Great Britain, Spain and Italy and many other countries would not have fought in that war.
Thus, the choosing of the next president of the United States is as important to London, as it is to Chicago.
Learn more about Obama, go directly to the candidate, and if you agree with me that he is the best candidate, give/show him support.
It would have influence on the American voter.

I spent a week in upstate New York on business recently. Those who I sounded out were solidly Democrat, but the people I meet are hardly a repesentative sample. I returned via Philadelphia and bought a Republican coffee mug (made in China!) and 'proud to be Republican badge' from a gift shop at the airport for the friend above (he dosn't like to admit being American and certainly isn't a Republican). The shop employee was vaguely aware that an election was taking place but couldn't name a single candidate. Looks like all candidates have some work to do. Unless disenfranchising the cynical and the ignorant is part of the strategy.

Etc...
I believe there is very little difference between the three candidates unfortunately. On a forum I frequent someone summed them up as Obomba, Hitlery and McPain.
Anyway, why do you bother as we don't vote for the US elections here in the UK.
