"So is he optimistic about anything? Yes, he is: He's cautiously
intrigued by... Barack Obama. Murdoch, who said that he was responsible
for the New York Post's endorsement of Obama during the New York
primary, said he wasn't ready to endorse Obama or to vote for him. But
he's pretty close: "I want to be convinced that Obama is the real thing,
that can really carry through. I'm open to that."

He's such a pragmatic fellow, that Murdoch!
