I honestly have no faith in Obama's presidency. I don't see him changing anything, much like I predicted Pelosi's promise to end Christmas Tree'ing in the Senate (it actually increased under her). I see him as doing anything to make it. This includes paying homage to racists, radicals, and those who admitted bombing government building, in order to make it into the government seat. I don't see him as anything more than the same.
McCain I used to like, but is now pandering to the Evangelicals he used to openly mock. He is a politician, with some poor legislative choices.... but has proven his desire to change big government and the abuses of big money's influence. I'm not expecting the second coming of Reagan, but I certainly see him as the better choice of the two.

it's really quite funny to read your implied claim, otto, that it is "partisan" NOT to see anything of consequence in the television-generated non-event that is the "wright thing"---so by implication, it follows that "seeing" it is non-partisan---this despite the self-evident problems with the nature of the "object" (the "wright thing" as pure product of editing and repetition on television) and its status. so what you're arguing in effect is that the "non-partisan" position to take regarding the presidential election is to abandon all rational sense of scale.

I find quite funny is the same people who despise the conservatives for pandering to Jerry Falwell and claim it was legitimate to argue it 4 years ago are the ones now who are saying it is irrelevant. I feel that I'm one of the only ones who hated it back then and hate it now.
