Well that's the biggest oversimplification the internet has ever seen.
The US election will largely come down to who will represent either party. If it's Clinton or Obama for the Democrats (of which it will probably be neither) the GOP will get yet another term. If it's Gore things will be alot more interesting. If Guliani is the republican canidate anything could happen.
As for the aussie election it will be won or lost on the publics ignorance of the IR laws, not foreign policy. Labour and the unions have fed that much bullshit to anyone with ears about the IR laws the ALP actually has a chance. The simple fact is that if Labour get in, any changes they make to the IR laws will be strictly cosmetic and would be changes the Liberals would've made anyway.
I agree Johnny has had his time, but if the liberal power-mongers had a set they would've got rid of him a year ago.
