Is it really possible to compare a politician unfavourably to Sarah Palin?
It’s not often that I link to the Daily Mail but this headline nailed it:
The Democrats have gleefully issued this video. Enjoy.
* Mary Reid is a contributing editor on Lib Dem Voice. She was a councillor in Kingston upon Thames, where she is still very active with the local party, and is the Hon President of Kingston Lib Dems.

Unfortunately, it seems it’s not possible for me as a non-US-resident non-US citizen to donate to the Obama campaign.
We may as well vote in US elections since we appear to be subject to their laws without ever setting foot in their country?
Hm. From an American perspective I’d have thought that ad sounds a bit like saying “Well, Mitt Romney may be popular here in the States, but if the Brits had their way he’d never get elected” — you only have to ask yourself how well that would go down in reverse (“Don’t vote Labour! The Americans will be mighty p*ssed off if you do!”) to begin to doubt its value as a campaign message. But no doubt they know their electorate better than I do…
I think the point is that he’s not a good international diplomat, so if he can so quickly annoy Britain, how quickly will he seriously rile countries who won’t so quickly write his comment off as stupid and irrelevant, countries who might actually do the USA or its citizens in their countries harm?
Romney will be a terrible president if he gets elected, probably even worse than Bush. I wish the Democrats all the best for 2012!
