For those of you as yet undecided about how to vote in the autumn, some advice from the Irish side of my family. Don’t sweat the big stuff about policies, about what Obama or McCain are promising, look at the fundamentals.

We, in Ireland, can’t figure out why people are even bothering to hold an
election in the United States .

On one side, you have a pants-wearing lawyer, married to a lawyer who
can’t keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary
against a lawyer who goes to the wrong church who is married to yet another
lawyer who doesn’t even like the country her husband wants to run.

Now…On the other side, you have a nice old war hero, whose name starts
with the appropriate Mc terminology married to a good-looking younger
woman who owns a beer distributorship.

What in Lord’s name are you lads thinking over there in the colonies?

It’s not just an Irish way of looking at it, is it? It’s really rather a male way too.
