My own guess, Karen, and it's only that, is you will be more pleased with an Obama presidency than I will.

From your lips, er, fingertips to God's ears... <g>

his presidency might even lead us to have to rethink left-right, perhaps even discard the distinction for something more serviceable.

I'm up for that.

Edit: I found one odd part in Powell's endorsement. He said that the GOP had moved right recently. I don't see it having moved right since Powell retired from the military and took up politics. It seemed to me he was trying to find another good excuse for his new found distaste for the GOP.

John;

There are more than a few positions he's taken during his period in the senate that are not ones I like.

I would be interested in what areas or "positions" you are thinking here?

Thanks;steve
