It's been fascinating reading the Canadians' take on the whole thing.
Also, on the romance question--no hurry. We were just idly curious. :-)
The Canadian take, as the US take, does vary widely, although perhaps not as widely. I believe it was generally assumed -- no, really, honestly assumed -- that Kerry would win. By those of us with a wider base of US friends with whom we're in constant contact (i.e. who live on-line <wry g>), that assumption was not as strong, but the pervasive sense of gloom was stronger.
I have to work at the store today -- Kelley Armstrong will be there in the afternoon, signing copies of Industrial Magic, her fourth novel.
I only wanted to answer the romance question because it's interesting in the context of bookselling, or rather, the history of romance within bookstores themselves is interesting.
