After nearly 40 years of essentially Republican rule, (28 out of 40), the Democrats have a real shot at putting some genuinely gifted politicians in office. Not a flash-in-the-pan luckout like Clinton, (who never would have been elected without Ross Perots help), but real technicians at getting things done. These guys could do 2 terms and set the stage for another Dem term afterwards. It's time we shed all the baggage initiated by the original Republican evil-doer, Nixon, and all of his wretched successors. The politics of greed/"freemarket advocacy" have had their day, and it has been a miserable failure. Time for some common sense and I hope these two do the trick. The polls currently put Obabma behind McSame, but when Obama gets him one-on-one at the debates, I have a feeling Barack will eat McCain alive. When it happens, Obama will show the entire world how inept and hollow McCain is, bury him with his own partys record, and do it with style. McCain has got to be the most painfully clumsy orator since Ross Perots running mate, James Stockdale. If the republicans win this election, I will be leaving this country for good, because they will finish the job of turning this once great country into hell.
