If the world could vote!

I am definatly not depressed, I am optimistic that he can make a difference.
Look at the new voters, the young voters, the minority voters that are energized, look at how the world has stopped to watch this election. Obama is not the second coming as the R's are trying to make out, he is just a guy with a strong abillity to lead and a calm demeanor to show restraint.
He certainly does have the JFK effect of this generation, and does inspire hope in many people.I personally hope that if indeed he wins tomorrow it is by a huge margin, enough to make the Republicans too rethink their direction and get their crap together. Hopefully to purge the party from people like Palin and soften the rhetoric.
It's time for us to move away from the Bush/Reagan, Clinton style politics.

I hope so, and if he wins, I wish him the best.

What does this mean? Consensus and common sense instead of polarisation and cynicism? If so, I hope Obama does indeed accomplish this, as, for better or for worse, the US has enormous influence in this fairest of worlds.
I guess what I'm hoping is, that Obama will lead the way for the US to become a beacon of reason, rather than one of obscurantism. Either side of the aisle you're on, that wouldn't be a bad thing, right?
Besides that, even I am getting somewhat tired of slagging of the US. But I need something to work with here!
Imagine all that military power and such being used for the greater good of the world - and Europe chipping in its part.
Yeah. I am a hippie. -

He doesn't stand for:
Corporate greed as in bankrupting the coal industry.
Wasteful government spending as in untold new gov'ment spending programs.
War-mongering as in capitulation.
Tax cuts for the wealthy as in socialism
Roe vs Wade will never be overturned. IMO it is the rightful law of the land. -
