Personally, I hope that his policies DO work as we are going to have him for at least 4 years. I put up with the policies of "W" for 8 years and althugh I "disagreed" with many of HIS policies, I have to live and work within those policies. DO you really want those policies to fail at this time? Granted - you do not want him as your President - but as many of my diehard Republican friends told me in 2000 and 2004, "He was elected as the President - deal with it" I had to learn to tolerate "W", now they can deal with Obama.

As a side note - I am neither Democrat nor Republican. I consider myself an independent who looks at the candidate and not the party. I understand partisan politics are prevalent - but I will never vote "straight ticket". Unfortunatly when one does not like either candidate, we must choose "the lessor of two evils".

Sadly, if "Big Business" donated as much to society as much as they do to facillitate "their" candidate, we would never have poverty and inflated prices of cheap products. As it is my cost of meds/food/autos/et.al. are paying for the big businesses political favors

BTW  - Eric, do you ever wonder what possessed the founding fathers to draft that particular item into the Constitution which would encourage the VP to compromise the policies of the current President ands position themselves as the next President? Kinda sounds like it would be a Roman/klingon type of Republic. Kill the current ruler to gain the throne. WTF?
