Firstly, I had an epiphany last night that Obama is Sarko; their political campaigns are identical for all intents and purposes. By epiphany I mean sudden intuition. By intuition I mean not justified; I have no exposition as yet to describe their ideological similarities or of course predict any mutually beneficial outcomes.

Neo-liberal is inadequate.

Secondly, your article will not be well received at dkos. No one (a bit of exaggeration) in the US can project international consequences of the presidential election. No one (more hyperbole) on the www is even concerned about Congressional gambits in the '08 election cycle. Perhaps they are waiting until V-E Day, coinciding with canvassing season, to advance an analysis of the president-elect's political capital, so to speak?

I'm glad your cross-posted/ I didn't recommend it, given the commentary thus far. Doing so is an empty gesture.

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
