An interesting idea from down under.....

Tim Blair suggested a few weeks back to the Guardian newspaper that was whining about their inability to vote in the US election.......

Here's a way Freedland and his fellow meddlers can still have their say in the USA: each could simply identify and adopt a random individual living in one of the battleground states and target that person with emails, letters, and telephone calls begging them to vote against Bush. I'm sure average Americans will be pleased to receive whiny 3am calls from people called "Jonathan", and will alter their vote accordingly.

And of course, they are doing just that. Read it here....

So this is how it works, the foreigner that wants to influence the election in the United States sends an unsolicited email to a resident of.....drumroll please...Clark County Ohio, described as...

One of the most marginal areas in one of the most marginal states: at the last election, just 324 votes separated Democrats from Republicans.

So these 'fureigners' quest to influence the election is quite imaginative to say the least. Presumably, if a Clark County voter changes his/her vote, then this will mystically ripple through Ohio and the nation and influence the outcome of our national election.

And as Arthur Chrenkoff points out....

So now, in addition to usual emails from "STEVE KABILA, THE SON OF THE LATE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF KONGO PRESIDENT LAURENT DESIRE KABILA" offering a share in $25,000,000, and offers on amazing penis extension pills, the poor people of Clark County, Ohio, will be receiving whining emails from British lefties
encouraging them to vote for John Kerry. Where will it stop?

I suggest to the Guardian and other drippy leftists that they call in the help of Harry Potter. He and the other wizards from Hogwarts could do plenty to help them in their pursuit of electoral perfection.
