Well, somebody let me know when the Republicans decide to run a REAL conservative for President. Otherwise, you're getting Obama for giving us 8 years of GW Bush, whether you like it or not.
I don't think we get Obama for 8 years.
He has all the makings of Carter part 2.
Also recent experience tells us that when one party rules both the Presidency and the Congress they make a mess of things and turn it right back over to the other party.
Clinton had both houses of congress for two years and made a mess of things and turned control back over to the Republicans. Newt and congress then moved the country to the right for the rest of Clinton's term.
Bush did similar, it just took him longer to give control back over to the Democrats. But it looks like the country will move to the left for a bit. But eventually the Dems will push to much spending or tax increases or too many government programs and the country will move back to the right.
