Nothing's going to change. The best we can hope for is that it gets no worse, and that, unfortunately, may be the best reason to vote for Obama. McCain will certianly make it worse. Unfortunately, Obama or any Democrat is not going to make it better.

I hate the Democratic party with a passion, but really after 8 years of W, wouldn't just about
anybody make it better?
McCain scares me because I think he's made it pretty clear he's itching to get into it with Iran just like Bush was with Iraq. However, he's really not nearly as bad as Bush, and the people who pull his strings are not nearly as bad as the multinational oil companies behind W's administration.
Obama is considerably better than McCain, though, yes he is only going to get there by playing the disgusting party politics game with the full support ot the milk-toast and sold-out coalition that is the party of the Jackass. So be it.
I'm sure we all have a next door neighbor or somebody we go bowling with who is more honest, better qualified, and obviously more in touch with
our values - so the self-righteously purist among us should forget about Nader, Paul, and the rest of the pretended-to-also-rans and just write in their buddy Trevor or Claire. It makes much more of a statement, and you know you like
them after all!
Me, I'll swallow my pride and take the lesser of two evils, and just be glad that this time it's waaaaaay lesser than what we've gotten used to.
