Four Days To Go!

I'm trying to stay calm. It's very difficult, only four days! Tuesday is going to be an absolute nightmare. I can't possibly sleep. I want to be able to remember exactly how I felt, the night a black candidate nearly / became president. It isn't all 'signed, sealed, delivered' yet.

The race tightens ( we knew it would)

No polls in the USA put McCain ahead of Obama currently, but the swing states are too close to call.

McCain's camp have issued a memo this week saying, 'All signs say that we are headed to an election that may easily be too close to call.'

Gains for Obama among young and black people may be rivalled by McCain's appeal to rural and less educated voters.

Obama has, in the last few days tried to offest this possibility in bringing in his two biggest guns.

1. A 30 minute infomerical which delayed the holy grail of American culture.




The advert drew in over 26 million viewers and is a mark of his relentless campaign up until Tuesday where he has chosen to make full use of his campaign's bucket of cash.

2. Bill Clinton.
