So today is so-called 'Super Tuesday' in the US: the day 24 states decide who they want in the election for president. The cacophony is overwhelming, with the media rushing to outshout one another, and the candidates trying as well. Hillary Clinton was, at some point yesterday, quite in danger of losing her voice, and I'm sure the others are as well. The general impression seems to be McCain will score a knockout and Clinton will score a palpable hit. I put that down so that when the results come in completely different we'll still remember what we thought was going to happen.
