Well the pollsters seem to have called most seats well and there were very few shocks (which is impressive considering the number of seats up for grabs). I can't say that I completely understand American politics. The issues that get people excited are completely different to Wales and the way that campaigns are run also seems very different. All candidates seem to concentrate on selling the "sizzle" as opposed to the "Beef", as Walter Mondale might have put it.
Anyway my favourite part of the campaign has been checking out American campaign ads. If you haven't seen any then have a look at this top ten from adweek Their number one is below. (hat-tip to Benedict Pringle whose Political Advertising blog is one of my favourites on the web)
