They're chomping at the bit; can't wait until January 20th arrives. No, I'm not referring to the millions of Americans who cast ballots for Barack Obama. And it's not just the millions more who just want to see George Bush go back to Crawford permanently (51 days to go, fellow survivors).

You can make promises, you can campaign, you can even throw around lots of money. But in southern India nothing lures potential voters like a big-name movie star. Two months ago, more than a million people turned out to hear the first political rally by Chiranjeevi, one of the region’s most popular actors, who had set up his own party.
