Election Day

As Election Day in Massachusetts comes to a nail-biting end, so another looms in Spelthorne this Friday.
Funny how New England copes with the cold and snow so much better than us in southeast England. Just as snow showers are expected right across Massachusetts Tuesday, it looks like Wednesday is going to be another day trudging through the snow in Spelthorne, rounding up those last minute voter registrations! Let’s just hope for milder weather Friday for the 600 expected at the Spelthorne Open Primary.
The Brown Oakley race is neck and neck after just a few votes reported. The Spelthorne Open Primary is a six-horse contest, with each candidate offering something different, and the outcome equally unclear.

9am Update: BROWN WINS! Not a headline I hope to have to repeat this May, but one to savour in January -- and with that Obama's healthcare revolution in tatters. I always knew Obama would be bad news for the US, just like our Gordon Brown in the UK.
