The American main stream media is, at heart, relentlessly conservative, but, at the same time, polite, and so they don't wish to crow about this rather impressive ratification of Bush's ideas by one of our more important allies?

How about the mainstream American media thinks that stories about election results in Australia won't help them sell advertising as much as printing another article about Britney and Kevin? Election results in Germany (which, depending upon who you believe, either meant that the Germans were happy or unhappy with the "anti-American" national government) got no attention here, and I doubt that the Spanish elections results would have, absent the terror bombings.
And is it all that much of a suprise that Howard's party won? I could swear that the Economist ran an article a few weeks ago about the fact that he was leading by a pretty good margin, and that his opponent was regared as an inexperienced lightweight.
