Yeah. I'm not sure if it makes it more or less likely that we'll lose Blair (which would be some sort of silver lining...), but I still don't think it's good for the UK, the USA or anyone else.
Thing is, I'm not surprised. Much as I wanted Kerry to win, this always seemed slightly inevitable.
I know I'm seeing this from an outsider's perspective, but I have to wonder how a divided USA is going to cope with another term. A lot of people were concentrating their anti-Bush fury onto the elections... is everyone really just going to simmer down, shut up and wait for the next ones now? I find that hard to believe.
