Not so much team R vs team D but rather a re-establishment of common sense and accountability. In other words a move towards conservatisim.
I guess I'm a little more optimistic than you guys and hope for the best.

If it were only a move towards conservatism, but it isn't. Rather, it is a move back to Republican Neo-Conservatism. We've been seeing it since 1994, and it is something I have a hard time being optimistic about.
The Neo-Cons were firmly rejected by the voters two years ago, and rightfully so. However, due to our crappy two-party system, the alternative was to vote for their opposites, the Progressives. Since they have faired no better during their tenures, they will be voted out and replaced, again, by the Neo-Cons. Until viable choices are available as third, fourth and fifth parties, America will continue to be on a treadmill. Hardly anything worth being excited about. As krashkart said, we can at least be thankful that those ads will disappear.
