Countdown to November 4th

Last night Barack Obama was adopted as the Democratic Party Nominee for the Presidency. Next week will see the nomination of John McCain for the Republicans - and Labor Day, the traditional opening of the final campaign for the White House.

Washminster will be following the campaign closely. The series on key congressional districts will continue - and in the final week of the campaign, I will be posting from the 11th District of Virginia (as highlighted over the summer - a district where the Presidential; Senate and House races are vital to the overall results). Manchester. Parliament returns in October with a packed legislative programme. The rush will be on to complete business before the end of the session.
But British politics will continue to be covered by Washminster. September promises to be a busy month, with the party conferences. I'll be posting from the Labour Party Conference in

Manchester.
