Bom prenúncio?

Crunch time in America
(Nov 2nd 2000 From The Economist print edition)
It seems to have been going on forever. And indeed it has, for Al Gore and George W. Bush have been their respective parties’ presumed nominees for the presidency for much of the past four years. For sure, the race has had its emotions: dismay at the prospect of Bore v Gush; relief at the emergence of viable candidates in the primaries to rival both the front-runners; surprise at Mr Bush’s vast lead in the early summer; surprise again at the way “the kiss” seemed to send Mr Gore way into the lead after the party conventions; and then some angry name-calling during the televised debates as the Democrats sought to convert Bush to Shrub and the Republicans to convert Co-President to Co-Liar. That, in short, is the story so far. But the ending—and the best choice—is far from clear.

Os tempos mudaram.
As adesões a Barack Obama são cada vez mais amplas e diversificadas.

That´s the time?
