Parallels

I can't find a picture online to test if my vague recollections of Elektra: Assassin stand up to reality, but something finally clicked into place the other day and I realised who it was that John Edwards reminds me of: Satanic Presidential candidate Ken Wind. I know there are a few comic fans out there who may have a copy of E:A to refer to, so please let me know if I'm right or wrong in spotting this.

Elsewhere, tonight they're voting in what the BBC is calling the Super Seven states. I'm not sure if I'm going to stay up and watch the results this week - last week, I stayed up for New Hampshire and got no surprises, the week before I slept through Iowa and got lots of them. So, maybe I'll be up with my mix of second-hand commentary and obscure trivia, and maybe I won't. Oliver Willis, Pandagon and Atrios could be good places to look for commentary if that's what you want and I've found there's a certain degree of enjoyment watching the comments of the extreme Deaniacs at Daily Kos as they try and spin every disaster into a victory. Some of them are so good at it, I wonder if they're really just angling for a job with Prentice McCabe.
