As a Canadian, I am also watching with a lot of hope.

Historically, our 'right' has been somewhere close to what you'd call centre however that's changed in the last eight years to the point that a former Conservative Prime Minister endorsed the Liberal Party during an election.

If the Republicans fail massively in this election it could help erode the support the hyper-capitalist agenda. Without the political and economic ability to point to the neo-con 'success' south-of-the-border, hopefully more of us Canucks will rethink this 'big business will look after us' thing they chuck up.
