US Election

[dalekboy]

These days I'm lucky if I get to skim LJ, and so may have missed other people who have the same concern I do. I think many of my friends want Obama to win, for all sorts of good reasons. Things are looking good, with many big Republicans even publically supporting him.

But while everyone seems to be hoping for an Obama victory, I have yet to hear anyone express the niggling fear I've had since day one - the bastards stole one election and got clean away with it, who is to say they won't do it again?

I have the same fear.

After past fiasco's where the obvious winner to the sane world lost by a fraction of a margin, and after seeing numerous documentaries on the seemingly blind zealotry pockets of American societies have for, well, either side... I won't breathe a sigh of relief (or panic) until it's all over and decided for good.

At least if it goes the other way I won't have to move to Canada ^_^ - but I'm sure the outcome will certainly effect the whole world over the next few years.

I think the US economy is doomed either way. But hopefully if Obama gets in, he'll look at the US as a part of the world, instead of in charge of it. That could make some difference, there and everywhere else.
