Fact and Fiction

Is it just me or is truth mirroring fiction over in the States at the moment? The Republicans have a veteran, time-served senator whose views are out of step with a lot of the party base. The Democrats had almost anointed their establishment candidate, someone with previous time in the White House, but were surprised by the emergent campaign of a young Senator from an ethnic minority. Even Super Tuesday didn’t conclude the fight. With both candidates seemingly equally popular this contest could carry on all the way to the nominating convention…

All we need now is an aide in a chicken suit and a disaster in the Republican’s home state which reflects on some of his previous lobbying and we’d have West Wing, season seven, all over again!
