Presidential Elections

I am absolutely beside myself.

When I moved to Australia, I eventually found Democrats Abroad, with whom I have watched the poll returns every four years since, starting with the re-election of George W Bush.

I saw the orange menace defeat Clinton, and Biden's triumph to return America to democracy.

But now live on tenterhooks that the senile orang-utan could be returned to office.

Tomorrow I get to be in a pub at mid-day to watch the results, and hope to lift my glass in celebration of history, rather than its end.
