What now?

[illusionofjoy]

By this time tomorrow, either John McCain or Barack Obama will be chosen as the next President of the United States. These are not exactly inspiring outcomes, but I think I'd be less annoyed with a McCain win than an Obama win. Obama is a betrayal and an empty box into which people put what they wish to be in it. With McCain, much as I may not like what I may be getting, at least there is no doubt as to what I would be getting.

Will people riot if Obama loses? I hope not. Will people gloat if Obama wins? Probably, but again I hope not. Will I be able to hold back saying "I told you so" if Obama wins and then crashes and burns? Perhaps not - it depends on how much gloating is done by his fanbase if he does win. Conversely, when McCain crashes and burns, I will have no need to hear "I told you so" - I'll already have known.

There's the spirit of hope and cheer I have come to expect from you.

I figured this would be your decision, so I'm not surprised.

But, as such a staunch Hillary supporter, I guess I had figured you'd eventually decide McCain's agenda is so wildly opposite Hillary's that you just couldn't do it.

Even though I'm an Obama supporter, it has been nice to be able to read a different viewpoint. :)
