Scary, scary, scary!!! A "black" man being elected president of the "United States!!!" Michelle Obama cold!!! Her warm smile conceals her coldness!!!
Actually, it's a big world out there, and even subscribers to Salon can be bat-c&@zy. I voted for Obama, and I'm not scared at all. I expect to be voting for him again in the fall.
As far as "Republican" crossover votes throwing the election for Obama, it's not very likely. A lot of people are questioning their "Republicanism" after the fiasco of the past seven years. If they really were trying to get McCain an easy opponent, they would have voted for Hillary.
Here's a scary thought for the willing to be scared: Barack Obama is elected president, and appoints an "African-American" to the Supreme Court, a woman as U.N. ambassador, and a "gay" person as Secretary of Defense. Two of these things have already been done, and the third almost certainly. It's still enough to get many to hide under their beds, trembling in fear. I'm reminded of Don Knotts on the old Steve Allen show. Too bad he's not still around. He could reprise his man on the street role as a terrified "Republican."
