The American presidential election seldom fails to hold my attention - since the 1980 Reagan v Carter clash - the first one I remember - up to the current Obama/Clinton/McCain battle, which have sent me furiously reading up on the previous ones!

I'd love to see Obama win it - a man of hope, inspiration, youth and vision. It's so refreshing to see his campaign proceed without going negative. I just can't take 'Hilarious' Clinton seriously - either as a person and particularly not as a president.

I've been aware of her since 1991 but I can't remember seeing her so much as crack a smile up until her campaign began. What, have her lips been sewn together all this time?!

I admire McCain, an ex-prisoner of war and a straight talker, however he seems to be cut from the same cloth as Bush - although this guy can read, string a sentence together and eat a bag of crisps without ending up in A&E!

Come on America, elect Barack because we Brits are forever copying you. Lord knows we need someone with fresh ideas and a positive, rational attitude to shake up the UK political scene.
