Truly depressing for the Obama supporter to hear that, but remember GW will NOT be president again, so how depressing could it be? Also Romney and Guliani won't be president! Ahh, I'm already starting to feel better.

John McCain promised voters last week that there would be more wars, and said we could be in Iraq for 100 years. And Hillary Clinton is one of the most divisive figures in politics, with 50% of the country saying they will not vote for her under any circumstance. And even if she did get elected it would just continue this whole left hating right right hating left debacle we've been stuck in for 40 years. I'm feeling the depression, but hopeful that this country gets it right. There's a great endorsement in The New York Post of Obama, talks about the Clinton 'triangulation', low ball tactics, and how they will continue to divide the country.
