38. Fair enough. That's a position I can respect.
I feel very confident that as you watch the contrast between Obama and McCain, you'll start to see the appeal of putting someone fresh in office.

Think about this; We just had the least qualified candidate in the history of America installed in office for 8 years. On top of being infinitely more intelligent and empathetic than Bush, and infinitely more energetic and inspirational than McCain... he wants to do some real good. Even as a 'rookie', that counts for a lot.

As I've said, Obama wasn't my first choice, and I really don't have a problem with a Clinton presidency, but I firmly believe that Obama will bring a straight-ticket bloodbath to the Republicans this year. I can't wait for dozens of Republican reps being forced to go into the private sectors they've been starving for so many years. Mark my words on that - it will be a bloodbath.

Let's just hope that the more rabid Obama and Clinton people will subside or move on after the primary, and we can take a serious step back and look at what we have.

Cheers!

Dr. E
