You are the third person I've heard was interviewed by Russian press recently. The other two are Thom Hartmann, and Vincent Bugliosi. It makes me wonder why this sudden swell of interest in US politics is happening, and especially in the people that are openly scrutinizing US policies and politicians.

Perhaps Palin saying that we may have to go to war with Russia made an impact? Surely our loud vocal support of Georgia DID.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but I find it fascinating. Another commonality, you three are all being shunned by the mainstream - for the most part anyway.

I LOVE when you said, "With all due respect, the US is starting to look like the former Soviet Union" - totally HOT!!! It reminds of when Putin (when president) and their press had countered Bush's comments on Russia's need to become more democratic with essentially, "What about your electoral college, and the firing of Dan Rather?"

I have to ask about the last question you answered about when the election system will change. I'm thinking that the Democrats will win on both local and national levels in many areas (just because it is unprecedented for the party of a failing administration to continue to hold very many seats). I also think that the Republicans are ready to say that they were screwed, and that they will argue everything from the "Bradley effect" to ACORN. Surely the ACORN thing is preparation for exactly that, and we all know they are going to challenge the crap out of every left-vote cast. However, I'm not so sure that alone will change the system. Why are you so sure it would? And why on earth would they blow the whistle on something that could very easily still work well for them in the future?

I've been a frequent reader here for almost two years now, and I heard you on Randi Rhodes today. I'm really glad you are getting the attention you deserve, Brad. your work is more important than EVER; and like Randi said, "You're my new best friend" until AND beyond Election Day! Thank you for all you do.
