I'm with you Will, but I do believe that Obama will win. The votes will actually count this time around but only, and obviously so, because the reps don't want to touch the next 4 years (at least) with a ten foot pole.
I predict that Obama will lose a lot of his popularity simply because it'll be his job to announce exactly how fucked we are. Wearing the straight jacket of the last eight years, he won't be able to perform all of the magic tricks he's promised and he'll of course be criticized for it.
His presidency will improve our relationship with the rest of the world, we'll be nudged further toward energy independence and bettering the environment, he'll eventually accomplish some of what he's proposed but many of the changes will be cosmetic.
Things will be different but still very much the same. We'll continue to make like the Romans and the Corporate States of America will continue to chug along.
