Before anyone shoots me, may I remind you that I'm English and have never really worked out what you do in the US with your elections or what/who exactly you are electing to what.

Right now we're working up to the party primaries and caucuses. There are debates being televised as the hopefuls try to secure enough support for each party's nomination for the 2008 presidential election. There are also the websites, television appearances, editorials, and talking heads vaporing endlessly. Part of the heightened tension comes from a change in the scheduling of some of the more important votes: they're having the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primaries earlier than ever before. They make everyone nervous because historically they've been almost infallible predictors of the nominees and even the next president.
I suppose the closest parallel to the UK experience would be having both parties electing new leaders at the same time.

I'm sure that there are plenty of other places where people can go talk about religion & politics.

Firstly it would seem that some of Jim's fans do think about religion & politics.
Secondly, most of the forums I've seen ban the discussion of religion and politics.
Thirdly I can I find out what people on the other side of the world think, or eventually get to find out just what the difference between Republicans and Democrats is. I don't agree with all I read, but at least I can sometimes see where the ideas are coming from.
Thank you Buttersfly, (As a child I call butterflys, Flutterbys, so ever time my eyes see your screen name part of my brain scrambles it. ;D )

Or how 'bout seeing what's up with the Libertarians? Bicameralism is so... dull, to me at least. I'd rather sit on the fence.

In the US, we have a two party system. Republican/Democrat, and everybody else.
