I'm trying to ignore the U.S. election just at present. I am very fond of many Americans, but I find your elections boring and way too long and, because I can't influence the outcome but will have to live with the results, quite stressful.

Via thebitterguy, however, here's a weird Canada-related election tidbit. How very odd.

You can totally influence our elections. All it takes is money or access to a Diebold machine!

You can't get much more democratic than that. Anyone can swing and election. And I do mean anyone; voter or not.

You should definitely see the whole ad that's being quoted here. The main point of it is that Harold Ford is a black man who sleeps with white ladies!

I am particularly taken aback that apparently the candidate can't get the ad pulled! Thanks, RNC!

(and it's so very Canadian to focus on the part that's about us. Terrible Plane Crash Kills 147 - No Canadians On Board)

Wow, it's just like you lived on the south side of the border. :)

What an ass. Hopefully the guy (or his PR/advertising service) has managed to tank his own campaign.

Actually, it seems the candidate has asked the Republican National Committee (whose ad it is) to pull the ad, but they've refused! It is to marvel at.

I live here, and yet I completely agree with your sentiments.
Also, I'm fond of the Canadians I know.
