Or in the words of Jessica Pomey, a 29-year-old Obama voter from Oakland, Calif.: "Politics used to be something you didn't talk about. Now it's everywhere, in hair salons, everywhere. It's part of the conversation."

And if politics has become exciting again, PERHAPS we can turn this ship of state and return this government to the people

Not holding my breath, but... hope springs eternal I guess
