A couple of people have wondered why on earth I would spend time in the US in August talking about politics. The answer is straighforward: I am sad like that. To me, that's fun.
It's my poor fiancee for whom I feel sorry. We'll be on honeymoon in Australia just after (assuming the polls and pundits are correct) there's been a change of government. She knows that I'll find it hard to resist being glued to the TV and papers there.
But I am lucky enought to be marrying my dream woman. Without my even asking she said she's not only happy for me to blog about it, she's happy for me to write columns on it.
I don't deserve such a perfect woman!
