Chances are, neither Obama nor McCain will be the best or worst President we've ever had.

The country will go on either way.

Take a deep breath.

What is there to be afraid of?
A country full of hate and ignorance. That is what scares me.

We're probably going to have a Democrat president and a congress strongly controlled by the Democrats as well. This country could take a sharp turn hard left.
And if it works, great. And if it doesn't, it will be changed next election.

Indeed. I am somewhat scared to see just how much is out there once Obama wins.

Let's all just take a deep breath, forgot about talking about this or voting for that matter (what's the difference?), and root for the Cubbies if the Cards are out of it.

It depends on how you get to the fringe. In some cases, it is absolutely shameful because it adds fuel to the hate and igorance I am deeply worried about in this country.

So if you don't vote for Obama you are full of hate and ignorance? I thought I knew you better than that....

I guess it depends on what you're looking for and what scares you. Palin's church and it's End of Days philosophy does it for me and it's not even close.

The Wright commercial has been on twice already this morning. I'm glad this is all almost over.

Speaking as a "hard" leftie, I assure you that that's impossible,
unless the term means something to you that is very, very different
from my understanding of my side of the political spectrum.

The worst that we get would be a second New Deal, and that would
be fantastic for the middle and lower classes.

I don't think he can carry it off, though.
no, its going to be very sharp...gays will be allowed to marry whom they want, there will be equal pay between the sexes, and african americans will be proud of what they have witnessed

all those nasty left wing issues will come to the open and ruin that 1950's lifestyle
