Whoever wins has a lot of work to do

... Normally the Congress might be an obstacle, too, but this time not so much. Even absent a Demo supermajority, the war, the economy and public disgust and distrust should nudge a few Republicans away from the party line on crucial votes. And of course if Obama wins, that problem vanishes ...

But we live in the land of the instant fix, where mystifying dramas are solved day and night in 60 minutes with time for commercials. When we spend all that money (actually only plan to spend it; Penny One has yet to be disbursed), we expect things to be better by morning. It’s the American way.

And that’s what can queer the deal for a new president. After all the buildup, after nearly two years of campaigning .. we’re likely to expect the winner to lift us instantly from a pit it took the Bushies eight years to dig. It won’t happen, it can’t happen, and if we let that make us impatient, we’re doomed to do this all over again

1. I've been thinking along these lines since the primaries started.

But, maybe taking it a step at a time is the way to go. It will take us a long time to wash the Bush out of our hair.
