I must admit that the results we are seeing do look totally unbelivable from this side of the Atlantic.

Akma: If the Democratic Party can't win in a year when the incumbent President is administering an unpopular, unsuccessful foreign war, when a blockbuster semi-documentary made millions of dollars exposing that President's short-comings, when the economy is uncertain, when the Red Sox won the World Series -- under what circumstances can it win?

Yet, look at these numbers: apparently a significant majority of US citizen are happy with this administration, more than in year 2000.

Maybe this is amazing because of the reality distortion field in which we live in the blogosphere. Suddenly we realize that most of the voices we hear are actually coming from a minority while a silent majority is choosing again a world leader who has already started cruel wars based only on lies, a majority totally unaware of what's going on in the rest of the world and and scared to death.

It's very, very depressing.
