While its nice that an African-American man can get elected to the White House, I'm still skeptical on Obama "changes". His monstrous u-turns on, for example Palestine, lends me to suspect he may be just another politician. I hope to be proved wrong.What got me passionate about this election and pro-Obama was the clown that was running as VP on the republican ticket, Sarah Palin. Thankfully the wisdom of American voters mean she won't get within sniping distance of the Oval Office.
As for her being a 2012 candidate - no hope. Her only positive attribute, her looks, are the one asset that will wither with experience. Palin will be no more than a quirky footnote in American history in four years.
On a sadder note, proposition R, the renaming of the San Francisco Water Treatment Centre, which we reported in June, to the George W Bush Sewage Works was defeated. San Franers are speculating that nobody in the city was keen on anything being named after a man whom they have made their feelings on clear in successive elections

I agree about Obama's u turns which also include endorsing clean coal , off shore drilling . Hopefuly these and his pro Israel stance are merely campaign necessities and that all the political goodwill he has accumulated will mean he can address these and other tough political issues.
Palin's a done deal.
HMMM .....Wait till he bangs his first intern then its business as usual .....2 heads the same beast.... The signs are already there ex Goldmansachs exec for Treasury Secretary same story.... different chapter don't hold your breath.....
dublindan - ever the cynic! Conorsf any idea what are the most Mc Cain and Obama counties in this election?
Washington DC voted 94% for Obama which is pretty impressive by any stanard (the crazy dictator in Turkmenistan once got 99.9% of a vote, thats what I call a mandate).
As for McCain's best I saw he got 80% in Cheyenne , Colarado. The interactive results are on the political page on msnbc.com. Very interesting if you've got time on your hands and these geeky facts turn you on
