I disagree guys the US is a lot different to here. No compulsory voting don't forget. Those who would support Obama won't even bother showing up to vote. Same can't be said for the other side. Republicans always show up to vote.
If we had the same system here would Rudd have won? BTW the old ways have kept them the number No.1 super power. Not sure the US is ready for an Obama, the people who count wouldn't want him. And if he did win what are the chances he won't be around long?
