Regardless of the outcome, I will respect the decisions made.

But what is our guarantee that we are not just trading names, for the same ol stuff?

But I will respect Romney, as I do Obama if he wins. I wish whoever wins the best, because we as citizens deserve the best.

I only hope the other side ( not so much you, August) can do the same if Obama wins, which I truly doubt.

You have to admit, there was alot of pre-emptive hostility towards Obama. (even before he did anything/and/or nothing)

More than the hostility generated towards George Bush? Seems pretty similar in volume and intensity to me. Like you I have my doubts about the other side too and maybe we are just trading names but it takes them some time to get entrenched so swapping them out every 4 years seems to me like a good practice in general.

I think this one has poisoned the well so much with the opposition during the past 4 years that reelecting him will only perpetuate the stalemate at least until he pain hits for what the health care law is all going to cost then he's going to be more lame duck than Bush was in his second term regardless of who controls congress.
