p.s. recall also that that paragraph about US power turning against Bush was written before the collapse of the banking system

Thanks - on your first point, I very much agree and actually said <A HREF="http://www.democratsdiary.co.uk/2008/09/republican-election-strategy.html" REL="nofollow">more or less exactly this</A> a month or so ago: <BR/><BR/><I>"But the major factor, as ever, will be the will of the people and institutions that really run the United States and its historic imperial project: the major corporations,

david<BR/><BR/>i defer to your expertise on the polling analysis. i would just like you to comment on two things that i think you may have overlooked.<BR/><BR/>1) having read the chomsky interview that you linked to your article, i believe you are right to disagree with him on this particular point. however i was hoping that you might pick up upon a slight contradiction in chomsky's analysis

Here's an interesting anecdote from <A HREF="http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1008/Race_and_the_economy.html?showall" REL="nofollow">Ben Smith at Politico</A><BR/><BR/><I>An Obama supporter, who canvassed for the candidate in the working-class, white Philadelphia neighborhood of Fishtown recently, sends over an account that, in various forms, I've heard a lot in recent weeks.<BR/><BR/>"

thanks<BR/><BR/>on your last point, I agree that a terror attack could be one of the few things that suits McCain, but I also agree that it would still be very close. I'm now (changing my mind even from a day or two ago as things continue to evolve) not sure that McCain would win even in those circumstances. I think McCain's brand is becoming poisoned and Obama is looking more and more like the

David,<BR/><BR/>Much of what you write here is correct and well argued. <BR/><BR/>Notwithstanding, this election changed dramatically the week that Secretary Paulson asserted the need for emergency action.
