I find it fascinating how obsessed canadiens are with american politics. I respect your dual citizenship...I'm just talking in general terms.
the celine dion comment is funny. you forgot to include barenaked ladies and nickelback
Well Canadians are very affected by American politics but are totally helpless when it comes to controlling it, we can't vote (well, I can had do), contribute to candidates or do much other than sit back in horror as we watch Americans display their total ignorance about their own history, their own place in the world and even current events that directly affect them.
The effect of watching someone walk into moving traffic without being able to stop them.
Canadians on average know WAY more about American politics, history and culture than Americans themselves. But when Americans come to Canada, they know almost nothing about our country at all. It's... Well, an interesting thing.
Yeah, I'm very interested in american politics because we are so affected by what happens in the US. It matters in a real way. And as a bonus, american politics are endlessly fascinating because it's so insane! It's damned good entertainment!

I know - this keeps me interested. It's like a soap opera out there.
I don't think anything will ever top that 2008 Democratic Primary marathon.

So, I keep reading how the Obama campaign has all this dirt on Romney that they are waiting to trot out there. I was sure we would see something today in an attempt to trample on any convention bounce for Romney. But, nothing.
So either:
1- they were bluffing and don't have any dirt, or
2- they are still holding it back.
I've got to think it's #1, because this is a perfect time to do something to stomp on the other guy's momentum. Like the Sarah Palin selection the very morning after Obama's big speech in Denver last time.
But maybe they want to wait until after Labor Day Weekend...
Just some random thoughts I had.
