America rebooted itself last night. The USA is now post-Vietnam, and has taken a great step towards being post-slavery.

All those disciples of Atwater; those peddlers of fear and division, found that American voters were shopping for hope, not hate this year.

My image of the night was John Bolton on the BBC. That old neocon dinosaur trying and change the inevitable by shouting at reporters - those days are over John.

Out of money, out of friends, and out of time; the McCain campaign is running on bile. The Republicans are picking over the carcass, and the klukkersphere is busy anointing Palin as the chosen one for 2012.

Politico reports that Sarah Palin has spent $150k of the RNC's money on clothes and make-up since getting the VP nomination.

You know Sarah Palin - just a hockey mom, small town, real America........

More evidence, if it were needed, that McCain couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.

His fanfare for the common man during the last debate has hit rather a bum note. His "good friend" Joe the plumber, isn't even a licensed plumber. He earns about $40k. The $500k business he's supposedly planning on buying, makes about $100k - which means he'd be better off under Obama's tax plan. If he ever paid his taxes of course. Here's the kicker - Joe's a tax evader, he's been chased for non payment - genius!

You'd think after Caribou Barbie, the McCain camp might have done a bit of background checking before making a complete unknown the centrepiece of their campaign.

Ah, the bloom is coming off the Alaskan rose. They more they see her, the more the American public seem to be coming to the view that Palin is quite unpleasant, and really rather stupid.

"It was an unfair attack on the verbiage that Senator McCain chose to use" - lovely

It feels like the US voters aren't that keen on putting another moron in the White House.

I've not stopped digging my new-clear shelter yet, but there are signs of hope.

A shocking plot has been uncovered!!!

John McCain will win the US Election in November. But will only serve for 8 months!!!!!

He'll be stuck down by a massive heart attack, brought on by eating a whale omelette (a traditional Alaskan delicacy)

Sarah Palin will be installed as Commander in Chief. Her first act as President will be to invite Georgia (that's a country, not the state) to join NATO, as a precursor to invading Russia!!!

The plot is backed by a shadowy cabal of neocon billionaires, headed by Cindy McCain!!

It's already happening! After the Convention, Palin was allegedly sequestered away with top Republican strategists to be briefed on policy. But her glassy-eyed, robotic performance with ABC's Charles Gibson is proof that the MK Ultra mind control process is already underway!!!!

Tell the internet!!!!!!

Jonathan Freedland has a profoundly depressing article in today's Guardian on the increasingly likely prospects of the Republicans winning in November.

If you are a Billionaire who wants to pay even less tax, vote Republican. If you are a Creationist who's into book burning, vote Republican. If you like war, vote Republican. But if you vote Republican because you think the VP is 'plain spoken'; then it's time to hand back your voter registration card you fucking moron.

Unfortunately what happens in America impacts on the rest of us. But, even though we can't vote, we can contribute; by challenging the lies and smears that infest the internet. Here on Vox, and other sites you'll find hundreds of budding swiftboaters smearing Obama.

Who's behind the curtain?

The end of the Democratic convention left me profoundly depressed about the prospects for November. If you want a bunch of people to wear silly hats and cheer for losers, then the Democrats are your go to guys. But if you want fighters, look elsewhere.

It's shaping up to be a re-run of 2004, with the Democrats turning the other cheek while the Republican attack dogs run wild. The swiftboat smears hit home against Kerry because he was so manifestly gutless. Regardless of his exemplary war record he looked and acted like a coward. And got beaten by a drunken draft dodger.

If the Democrats don't want to be cheering another loser come November they need to be breaking out the rhetorical napalm. Why haven't we seen the internet rumours linking Corsi to White Pride; asking Schmidt to deny he's a Klansman, or portraying Coulter as she-wolf of the SS.
