Iain Dale in today's Telegraph has gone to great length to explain why he is now an Obama supporter rather than a McCain supporter..... and hush, there might be other Tories who feel the same.
I am sorry you are going to have to explain this to me.
Iain Dale is English, with as far as I know no right to vote in the American election, so it does not matter who he supports, other than in a footballing sort of way.
I find the breathless wall to wall coverage of Obama/McCain baffling in the UK media, the Americans are barely interested in what goes on outside of their State let alone in the rest of the USA, they certainly have very little interest in UK politics.
As far as I know we are not the 51st State (though I wonder sometimes), I would have been more interested to know Iain's opinion on why call me Dave is slavishly following the Lord Protector- is he in agreement with the tidal wave of our cash being thrown in the path of the Banks and other UK based interests rather than which 'team' to support in a foreign election.
Being a German speaker perhaps we can find out which team he supports there.
Bizarre.

My sentiments exactly.
I read the rss title feed of Iain Dale pronouncing that he had "declared for Obama" and decided not to bother clicking on it.
Like I give a crap!
These semi-professional bloggers are besotted by it because visting Americans drive up their readership figures substantially.
What the BBC's excuse is, I don't know.
