Hi, here via friendsfriends and just wanted to comment as a foreigner with an interest in the midterms (its half 3 in the morning in England *yawn*): I think its crucial that Bush gets his hands tied and sits out his second term as a lame duck: America is hugely influential in world events, and I don't trust Bush and the Republicans not to to do anything else horrificially destructive and cataclysmic before '08!

I'm a little bit confused by it all, am just sitting here cheering on Democrat wins and booing that sleazy Santorum guy, and keeping my fingers crossed for Virginia and Montana...
