I'm a Brit but I'm actually really excited about this. I think the common (mis)conception in the UK is that people are voting for a person rather than a party - which makes people tend to scorn at the word-bungling Bush and go for Kerry, without really knowing what the two of their parties stand for, which is what matters.
I'm really not that sure who I'd vote for to be honest, it just annoys me how people here think they know what they're talking about when they don't - but that's what voting's all about
