I've got my absentee ballot ready. Here's how you can make your voice heard:

As if British elections weren't boring enough we also have the US one foisted upon us. No offence lu but why the BBC insist on replacing hours of Keeping up appearances and Only fools and horses repeats with coverage of who will be the next supreme commander in chief I have not a clue. Bush really is one the most inarticulate public figures I've ever seen. Has anyone explained just how he came to be the Republican number 1 draft choice?

They may be boring, Dodge, but they are important and affect all of us. Especially now.

And as for how Bush got in there, money talks. Even if Bush can't.

the Republicans thort Gore was a shoe-in at the last election too. Gave Dubbyah the nod to keep George Senior quiet and hoped he'd go away once he'd lost the battle. But OH NO they had to go and mess things up and get him elected...

He's not; we have the power to vote him out!

Dodge

We don't have the power to vote him out, the US electorate have that and, despite my persistant requests for American citizenship, I'm not a part of the US electorate.

Do they replace WWF Smackdown with coverage of Tony Blair and Michael Howard?

wish the BBC/ITV would replace Blair/Howard with WWE Smackdown!

Dodge

I wish Smackdown'd swap The Rock and some other 'roid pumped up, bottle blonde, nano-dick with Blair and Howard.

there was some wrestler (Jessie Ventura?) who became governor of Minneapolis(?) so ther eis a precedence for wrestling into politics...

lucrece

Yep, that's him. A wrestler in Minneapolis, a body-builder in California, and a deadweight in Washington.

But c'mon guys, try to keep it serious. If everyone sends a letter it can have a big impact.

Well I'm sending them J, I hardly ever use it.

I've just had a look at that link, would Americans bother reading an unsolicited email from someone in a foreign country discussing their upcoming election and why not to vote for George Dubya? I'd automatically delete it along with those emails regarding moneys to be removed from Nigeria. How do you know who'll get your email address if you did follow their link?

Its actually the home address they give you dodge!! Imagine getting a letter from some weirdo in kentucky saying vote for the libdems!

Dodge

Wouldn't it be great if millions of people did this but all had the same address to send their letters to.
