19. I'm worried, too. What's McCain going to do when he loses? What if the depression
kills him, or causes some of his health problems to flare up? What if Palin goes broke and has to do a Playboy spread? What if the voters like Obama so much that he's a shoe-in for 2012, and that causes him to relax and fall into a sophomore slump? What if the rest of the world is so happy with the choice that stock markets soar to dangerous heights again? How are we going to stay united when the troops come home and we don't have Iraq to unite us anymore? What's going to happen when we begin building better levee and flood control systems in New Orleans and other coastal regions, and the regions devastated by natural disasters become thriving parts of the economy again, while an investment in green technology stimulates production and research, causing job and wage growth to explode, generating enough extra income to wipe out the deficit in five years and leave us with a surplus to invest in our infrastructure and education system? What happens when we have cleaner air, a real health care system, safer monetary infrastructures, and a government that can respond to emergencies without simply bombing something?

We have been so united in outrage, will we know how to unite in victory? That's my concern. But I beat on.
