People are clammering for a change, let's give them what they want, if it doesn't "work out" we have 2012, rmeber what we have dealt with the last 8 years, 1 President who served 2 terms, not even elected to his first, was placed there by the Suprmem Court and in 2004 he did not even get 50% ofthe vote, ANYTHING has to be better then what we have now
Sadly, I don't think people ARE really clammoring for a change...I put aside all notions of that when Bush was re-elected. And alas, for his second term he did, indeed, recieve over 50% of the popular vote (not that, in my opinion, that legitimizes).

I'm not sure my money is on Obama, but I'm hopeful for him. I think he's a man who would actually be a Good president, I'm just not sure Americans are intelligent enough to realize that (or deserve it).
