...sloganeering in a dark age. But think of the way those words ring for a people whose forebears marched into billy clubs and dogs, whose ancestors fled north by starlight, feeling the moss on the backs of trees. The sight of the Obama family onstage that first night in Denver was similarly mind-blowing, an image of black families that television so rarely provides.

Conference fringe meetings featuring representatives from the Republican and Democratic parties drew capacity crowds. Tory MPs who had traveled to the conventions in Denver and Minneapolis gave starry-eyed accounts of the proceedings. Francis Maude, a member of the shadow cabinet, described himself as having been "one of Obama's 85,000 close friends in Denver" - but refused to reveal his personal preference for U.S. President...
