On the other hand - (none / 1)
there's Jennifer Ehle.

Sorry to digress, but the other day you mentioned the Mark Pera defeat. Anything to offer by way of comparison with the Donna Edwards victory in Maryland? Take it to the OT?

Re: On the other hand - (none / 1)
What's this about Pera and Edwards?  Do you imagine I write loads of nonsense about Russia because I want to talk about American elections?  Are you crazy?  Well, since you brought up elections, I'll steal the opportunity to post this most brilliantly delicious poll, from Moscow News Weekly.


What kind of presidential elections do you consider to be the most fair and reliable?

  • Direct nation-wide elections (as in Russia)
  • Two-stage indirect elections by an electoral college (as in the United States)
  • A president elected by Parliament (as in Italy)
  • A president should not be elected. He should be nominated by his predecessor.

hehehe.

Oh, yes, Elizabeth Bennet...  Still, not really comparable to Colin Firth.
