Nerves!

This headline - and weirdly over-written first line of the subsequent story (in a very reputable Obama supporting British paper) - seems to me to sum up the extreme jitters in the hearts of the world Obama nation.

This is the wiser view of the Auntie story - it would have helped the Republicans earlier in the campaign (how many other mystery relatives does the mystery candidate have?) but they have wisely concluded that going for it now would look beyond desperate.

This was a hoot - and (hooray!) she came out of it rather well, no?
