About this blog

A picture of Mark MardellI’m Mark Mardell, the BBC's North America editor. These are my reflections on American politics, some thoughts on being a Brit living in the USA, and who knows what else? My previous blog, as the BBC’s man in Europe, taught me one thing at least: your comments are key. I read them all, so please have your say.
