Will the real America please stand up?

Ever since Bush was reelected, it's felt like someone switched countries on us when we weren't looking. On Tuesday, we have the chance to start taking it back.

    Here's hoping

    As a Brit, I hope to God Bush and co. get a bloody nose in this election. I know it's none of my business, but actually it is my business because what Bush and the neo-cons get up to has global repercussions and grim ones at that.

    It does seem strange to me that so many apparently sane Americans could vote for Bush, but, from what little I've seen of the American mainstream media and the strange parallel universe it inhabits (Fox News!!), could this be a factor?

    You're not the only ones who want the real America back.
