Shame no-one in the US has popped by to give thoughts on the election this time around. I'd genuinely be interested to know what you think of it so far, who you're voting for and why.

Following this from the beginning, I'm stunned that Obama and Romney now both find themselves neck-and-neck on 47% (a rather ironic figure).

Stunned but perhaps not surprised if you know what I mean.

Yes I know Obama hasn't closed Gitmo, Obama hasn't stopped extraordinary rendition, Obama hasn't got a handle on tightly regulating the financial sector or the whole 'standing up to vested interests' thing, Obama hasn't stopped the US ambassador to the UN vetoing any and every resolution that dares to criticise Israel, Obama hasn't stopped killing people in foreign lands, etc etc...

I know the whole slick, glossy Obama marketing machine must grate the more its deployed, I know the symbol of change didn't become the agent of change, I know the country is more divided than ever before.

But do you honestly think Romney will be better?
