Something should be done about the ability to donate via the internet with zero accountability. We have to stop the funneling of money from foreign sources into American elections.

I think the whole electoral process needs to be overhauled, from voter registration, voter ID, constitutional eligibility of candidates, donations from abroad, accountability, voting method and machines, and whatever -- from the ground up.

My answer would have been the same with a McCain victory.

Our election process stinks. There's something rotten about it.

BTW, most of my buddies in the military were somewhat depressed today. They definitely wanted McCain to be Commander in Chief instead of Obama. Of course, they will support who the American people chose.

Michael, do you see an increase in retirments from the armed forces as a result of Obama's election?
