Nobody knows what will happen, but I offer some positive outcomes for Husb2Sparky:
1.) The end of 30 years of egregious misrule.
2.) The collapse of the "two party system" in this country, and consequently the beginnings of true political reform.
3.) The final discrediting - well for a generation or two anyway - of Free Market mumbo jumbo economic witch doctors and their tautological bullshit.
4.) The end of the "Fuck you Jack, I've got mine!" political culture in the US and a resumption of community and mutual responsibility as political values here. It is telling that Obama harps on this point.
5.) The Sheeple wake up and figure out who is fleecing them and stop believing the bullshit shovelled out on TV.
6.) Public health care (not "insurance"), public transit, and the restoration of government to it's proper role and responsibility in a democratic republic.
7.) The collapse of the empire, the Pentagon, and the delusion that the USA is "threatened" by anybody in the whole world who doesn't want to obey.
8.) Reform of the election system, such as to make it's purpose to determine and carry out the will of the people, as opposed to the current one, which serves mainly to obscure it and thwart it.
Of course, we may not get all that, it's still up to us in many ways, but you asked for optimism.
