Britain gave us Twiggy (remember her?) and the Beatles, and this week it's payback time. We're returning the favor with the slap and dash of an American presidential election. Old Blighty is awash in endless public-opinion polls, televised debates taking the measure of the candidates' cosmetics, celebrity endorsements, dramatic gaffes and a media-manufactured cry for some of Barack Obama's hopey- changey.

The numbers do not favor [Hillary Clinton] and the Pennsylvania win may be a pyrrhic victory because it will not significantly change [Barack Obama]'s relative delegate lead. In addition, Obama has recently received key endorsements from some of the former president's stalwarts even thoughr those endorsements do not in any way seem to reflect any animus towards the Clinton(s). They just want to end die in-fighting and party-bickering by latching on to the candidate whom they feel will make the better president.
