I have found today rather unusual and very tiring. October is notoriously windy here and as the Spring Season takes a while to settle down after the cold winter. I also think it takes a few days for the internal body clock to adjust to daylight saving. I am finding difficult to get going in the mornings and slowing down to a crawl.
Around noon I sat down to watch the second presidential election debate between McCain and Obama. There wasn't anything really new and basically both candidates rehashed their earlier positions. McCain really failed to impress me whilst Obama came across as being from a younger generation. It was obvious that he appeals to a younger audience who really yearns for change.
Also it appears that support for McCain has dwindled markedly following the worsening financial crisis.Electors are seeking somebody to blame for causing this financial meltdown which has caused so much uncertainity and distrust for the political and financial sectors. Obama has picked up support but it is unclear what he can really do if elected to overcome this crisis. McCain is tainted by belonging to the Republicans and George W. Bush's policies which are hugely unpopular with the American public. I think that this election on the 4th of November could possibly see McCain and the Republicans being routed in elections for presidential and congressional offices.Americans want concrete actions and not platitudes at this juncture.

Gov. Sarah Palin was brought in to support Mc Cain's lagging polls. She was brought bolster up support to the Republican ticket by the election machinery. Note how she was coached, and giving favour to the popular vote,she gells with the average american & the EVANGELICAL vote. Quite a poor choice in my own estimate, also she's one heart beat away from being President,(McCain has serious health problems) and no doubt this will be played upon by the Democrat camp. To sum up with,the previous president, George Bush snr. once said "its the economy stupid". I wonder now if that's not now the main issue?. ie: the american hip pocket. Tough times are a coming I fear.
