I doubt politics will really start until after Obama has his feet under the Oval office desk.

Up till then we've got lots of positionings, but no action.

Re: Okay, where's everybody? (none / 0)

I'm sure, but there's an awful lot going on right now that really does look like a holding pattern till the next US pres.

I do think that, beyond the electioneering aspect, the whole Gaza thing is influenced by Israeli expectations they won't be able to get away with this shit in feb.
