In 1980.... the GOP was all excited about Ronald Reagan.... turns out he was a front man, a puppet. I see Obama much the same way, only not in anyway shape or form good for this country...
And again, if I am wrong and in 4 years Obama turns out to be the messiah, I'll admit I was wrong and vote for him with gusto..... but if he isn't and things do get worse and he is among the worst rated presidents (Hooveresque) then I can rest easy with my conscience.... even if I will be homeless.
So there ya have it.

Pan, you are welcome, and I completely understand now from whence you are coming. I can't say that I even disagree on particulars, only that I have a different take on 1) The folks Obama has surrounded himself with (in degree if not in kind) and 2) the likely direction in which he will go. I think who the Veep is will tell. If he starts giving previews of likely cabinet members, it will solidify further one way or the other.
So, having come to this, I can fully respect your decision and thank you for it, even while not sharing it.
The Courts are the bottom line for me. I am deeply frightened by another activist calling himself a strict constructionist in the Scalia mold. With a significant fraction of the populace evidently bent on theocracy, I don't believe we can afford another SCOTUS justice who is willing to tolerate legislative shennanagins in their support. That was by bottom line for voting for Kerry, who was the least appealing presidential candidate since Buchanan (I exaggerate, but at least since Dukakis).
Thanks for the conversation.
