There's excellent coverage of the US prez campaign on The Guardian, a progressive but fair Brit newspaper, the largest in England. Here's an excellent, unbiased and insightful column today:

They really have a good objective and historical perspective since they're not emotionally involved.
Important is that they compare this primary to the Democrats close primary in 1984- Walter Mondale, former VP and Gary Hart, a progressive Senator from Colorado. Hart was a young new honest face and won many states but Mondale pulled out the nomination (on the basis of experience and party ties). Mondale lost 49 out of 50 states, the worst Democratic defeat in history.
There's also another article on Mayor Bloomberg that makes clear that he's waiting to see if either Obama is nominated by the Democrats or McCain by the Republicans. If neither is then he's definitely in and will spend at least $1 Billion of his $20 Billion to guarantee that he gets elected. ( By comparison Ross Perot spent $35 million, chump change even then.)
Emotions aside, it's a safe bet the next president will be Obama, McCain, or Bloomberg.
Don't waste your vote on one of the lackluster "me-too"ers of the establishment parties. Vote for the only candidate who will withdraw us from the multi-trillion dollar nation-buiilding project that Bush has gotten us into; who will protect civil liberties and personal privacy, and who will stand up to the Fed's devaluation of the dollar. Vote today in the Republican caucus, and vote for Ron Paul.
Ron Paul's a racist. Don't vote for him, dude.
