Election in the USA - who will win?

Barack Obama versus Mitt Romney, that is the question. Who will the 150 million Americans vote for? What will it mean for the rest of us?

A picture out of my book of 20th Century Icons. John F Kennedy. I have a memory of the news where he was shot which just shows how old I am !! I feel that the US has never quite got over him and prospective candidates have always tried to create the same charisma.

On the other hand, we have Dave (a man with a serious charisma bypass!). At least Americans don't have to vote for professional politicians who think that a degree in PPE and an internship as a parliamentary researcher is a substitute for any decent real world job experience.

Who has the better system?

Rulers of the universe - what have they ever done for us?
