The Election Chronicles:The Maverick,the moose and the terrorist

The US presidential elections are just a month away. The candidates are busy calling the American middle class their friends, rolling up their sleeves to show they also can get their hands dirty like the plumber next door, loosening up their ties to show their exhaustion and so on and so forth. The whole thing has become more like a huge national ad campaign with candidates calling themselves Maverick, the opponent terrorist and even accusing opponent of buying an expensive planetorium gizmo!!!!! In the midst of all this the pan american love affair with Sarah Palin is getting stronger by the day. She doesn't understand much of politics.... so what?? She is kinda cute. Interestingly it seems like in a bid to outwit the ever eloquent Barack Obama, Gov. Palin has devised a new strategy. James Wood writes in the New Yorker that she is coining new words to defend the republicans at times. Well, that's only befitting for the "Maverick" Republican duo. After all, you don't become a maverick unless you do something out of the ordinary, do you?
