Super Wednesday
Well it’s Wednesday here in Australia, but in the US it’s Tuesday, and not just any Tuesday, but Super Tuesday! And my web browser (and TV when I get home from work) will be locked in to CNN watching as the results come in. 
On the Republican side I’m finding that John McCain is really growing on me - he seems like a fairly straightforward, genuine sort of character - and with an amazing bio to boot. For some reason I really don’t like Romney very much - just doesn’t seem to be much of a personal connection and he doesn’t inspire trust, in fact he doesn’t seem very inspirational at all (unlike all the other main candidates). Huckabee is kinda inspirational in his own folksy kind of way - also seems like a pretty nice guy, but just doesn’t seem to have that same leadership quality that McCain or Obama possess. On the Democratic side, if you’ve been reading this blog you’ll know I’m a fan of Barack Obama, so it will be interesting to see how he goes against Hillary. From what I’ve seen it looks like it’s going to be a pretty tight contest.
American politics is so much more interesting than ours. Might be time soon to dust off my old West Wing DVDs and start from the beginning. A McCain vs Obama election would have eerie similarities to the Vinick vs Santos contest in series 7. Anyway, for the time being I’d better get back to seeing some patients.
