As often happens after a few hours awake in the night, I eventually fell back into troubled sleep, a bit delirious. I was following Barak Obama's election campaign.

But who was the other guy, the Republican running with Sarah Palin? I'd forgotten his name, yet I knew in my heart he was going to win.

Then, as I pulled myself awake, just before I remembered it was mid May not early November and it all been a dream, I saw the name of the Republican candidate, the next USA President after George W - his brother, Jeb Bush.
