Actually, KG, I'm fascinated to hear what non-Americans have to say about this election. I listen to BBC somewhat regularly and find the coverage of the American presidential election an interesting change (though often a bit, umm, not quite spot-on).

And while I promise not to personally start electoral-themed threads, I may participate if others start them and frankly, if you know a thread is going to offend you, you really don't have to read it... every once in a while I come across something here that offends me (doesn't happen too often, but now and then), and sometimes I decide it's better to just pass it by.
