Election Road Trip -- The BBC sent two ex-pat journalists back to the USA to travel around and talk to Americans about what's really important to them in this election year. Hint: it ain't Vietnam service records. They've got a blog, a bumper sticker gallery, and a series of good articles on veterans, Latino voters, the role of fear (!), the state of the economy, and even (this one's for you, Karen!) the pro and anti-Bush factions back home in Texas. Read up -- somehow the "foreign" news always seems to do a better job than our homegrown networks...uh, except for Rupert Murdoch, he's Australian and his media empire is from Mars.
