Labor Day weekend holiday, USA, 2008. In the Hamptons the summer sun and blue skies shine whilst visitors fire up their barbeques for the final time or else get early onto the I495 highway to head home.
Less than a week ago, Barack Obama had the country talking about his acceptance speech of the Democrat nomination in Denver, Colorado.
After a weekend where Republican Senator John McCain announced a female Vice-Presidential pick, Sarah Palin of Alaska - she and a Hurricane heading for New Orleans have dominated the news.
From the first comments regarding who she is through to concerns about her unmarried pregnant daughter Palin has taken eyes off the no-show by President Bush and Vice-Preident Cheney at the convention (accident or deisgn for McCain - deliberate snub by Bush ?)
The net outcome is that Obama has gone from someone to noone in under a week. Political discourse in the united States remains alive and well...
