The US Election rumbles on as these things do. Making headline news every single day and having your every word analysed, pulled apart chewed up (by Rush Limbaugh probably) and spat all over the media can't be easy for the candidates.
Charlie Brooker continues to comment intelligently and amusingly on the media coverage of the election. His piece on watching CNN for Monday's Guardian was particularly good.
Despite the fact his name is at the top of the Republican ticket, John McCain is still being overshadowed by his running mate... who is now being overshadowed by Saturday Night Live's Tina Fey! Her impression of Palin has been big news on both sides of the Atlantic this week.
The breaking UK politics story of the day is George Osborne's ill advised comments after his alleged meeting with a Russian oligarch who, bizarrely, owns Leyland Daf Vans! The Times covers the story focussing on Gordon Brown's calls for an investigation into what's gone on.
Andrew Sparrow speculates exactly what there is to investigate in his Guardian politics blog.
Stay tuned for more regular posts on this blog!
