The selection of novice Senator Sarah Palin to be John McCain's running mate is a desperately cynical move by the Republicans, intending to capture the appeal of voters towards someone sexier looking than Barack Obama.
I can't say that I'm won over by the Obama whirlwind either; too much style (and a certain amount of opportunism) and not enough substance - very much in the Tony Blair mould. His official acceptance of candidacy for the Presidency (before 84,000 Democrats) was given "with great humility". Shameful.
Whoever does have the good fortune to step into the White House early next spring, the American people will at least have the consolation of knowing that the successor could only be an improvement on the present incumbent, one of the worst Presidents this side of the Vietnam War.
