‘It’s been an amazing demonstration of the vitality of the democratic process. A record turnout. And the sense therefore that the issues in the election, the issues about the outgoing American administration, have actually stirred the moral imagination of the United States in ways that people didn’t expect. Given the sort of turnout that we have in British elections it would be quite nice to have an election one of these days that stirred our imagination to that extent.’
He can comment on the American election, but not on the state of the American Church.
Well, it show that it’s not a speech impediment.
The last election was the record turnout. This one it seems many conservatives sat out.
from what i have seen conservatives or liberals don’t decide elections, it is the moderates and independents that decide. that is why after primaries you will observe most candidates move to the center. if mccain had campaigned in the same manner as that fabulous concession speech and more importantly made a more idealogically appealing vp pick, it would have been a down to the wire finish imho.
Well, now, we have some level of the experience the ABC has in his own country’s matters – and the ‘expertise’ he brought to these diverse matters: law, history, morality. Perhaps he needs to think he can be an astute judge of matters elsewhere? What with his rather tarnished abilities on the homefront and the Anglican Communion, both of which he ostensibly “leads” – though “figureheads” is more apropos, IMHO?
When do we get to vote on the ABC? I suspect that there might be a good turnout for that one, too.

“Tired”…no, we are outnumbered. Did you forget?
