    LeCastor

    So, if he gets the nomination and wins the presidency and does indeed live up to his promise of change and hope, passing progressive legislation, restoring America's reputation (at least partially) and ending the occupation, will you be back here talking about how wrong you were and admitting that you were basing your comments on nothing but fear.

    I'm not saying he'll manage to do any of those things, but if he does will you have the courage to come here and admit you were wrong or will you be hiding, sure the sky is about to cave in?
