Your exchange rates are well out of date. It's $1.58 to £1 at the moment.

When I last changed money on the 22nd September I think it was 1.88 or something.

One thing I was wondering: in early voting you see very long waiting lines. People standing in line for hours to be able to vote. Is that the same on election day? Might have influence on how many people do vote, don't you think?

No. A state will only provide a few early voting sites -- maybe one per area. On election day there will be hundreds of voting sites.

Meh...you know what...not that it matters as I'm not American...

After listening to Obama's acceptance speech...he seems like he genuinely cares about the people, we'll see what happens I guess.

He certainly has a lot on his plate and a lot to prove, so if that isn't motivation to change I don't know what is.

Certainly he's better than Bush, who I believe became so complacent being in power he forgot his responsibilities.

When that man speaks it scares me someone so "Elmar Fud" like was in control of that country. :P

I heard that this was the case. Here in my state, we voted by mail, and we didn't have to wait until Election Day. That had to have been pretty annoying.
