Anyone concerned about our final two choices only has to look at the Repubs
Can you imagine being a Republican and having to choose between the guys they have? Romney, the serial liar. McCain the war-mongering amnesty guy, Crazy Ron Paul, or Huckleberry Hound. We have to two good, history-making candidates left, even if you can't necessarily stomach the hatchet-job the media is going to do on them. But the Republicans...they'll have to do some serious nose-holding to vote for "traitorous" McCain, their likely nominee. I think many would sooner stay home and say "Well, let's let the dems have at it for a few years, how much worse could it get?"

We can only hope.

1. You are forgetting that Michael Bloomberg could buy his way into
...the nomination at the republican convention and then the presidency. Nothing is cast in stone

McCain & Romney. people will get the government they DESERVE. and they will deserve them. so cut the rah, rah, rah vote democrat crap! it is meaningless.
