Yeah, I don't think we have anything to fear if Obama wins. I'm a little torn on them. I'll vote McCain, even though I do like some of Obama's ideas, I guess I like the majority of McCains. I wish I could combine what I like from each canidate and then have the perfect president. Although what would be perfect for me, someone else would hate....oh well, can't have everything.

Maybe in 2012 if he actually manages to accomplish something in the next 4 years and does some serious damage repair on his recent past history. It will be McCain and Palin in November.

That may only be partially true though. It may not be an Obama presidency, but more of a Pelosi/Reid presidency. We already saw some of this in that big meeting about the bailout a couple weeks ago where McCain and BHO attended. While most of the Media spin was about how McCain somehow threw a wrench into the bailout, what was also painfully on display was that BHO had been summoned to Pelosi's office before hand and told exactly what, or more accurately what not to say. Doesn't give me much confidence that BHO could ever stand up to those two.

Much will depend if, assuming he wins, BHO is able to step up to the plate and realize HE is in charge and show some real vision and leadership, or simply follow along the current vicious, partisanship course charted by Pelosi/Reid. Given past performance, I have serious doubts this will occur, and if Democratic majorities should actually increase this election, we could just be left with a Nancy Pelosi prime-ministership, with BHO as the neutered figurehead.

LOL...sorry I just have quite the image in my mind right now of the two of them running the country. Maybe I take back what I said, that we might not have anything to fear if Obama wins. Pelosi is as Liberal as they come!!!

Pelosi would also do her utmost to take away our second amendment rights.
