We’ll see how the process goes in a few weeks. If Obama can garner enough constitutional electoral votes to win, he will be my president because I think the will of the People trumps who I want as president. Will those on the left be willing to say the same of McCain if Obama doesn’t win?

That depends on the nature of McCain's administration. If he fails to live up to all the 'maverick' bluster, you bet I'm gonna call him on it. I doubt you'll be giving Obama a free pass. -

I'm not. Never in my life have I distrusted a group as much as these current CONS. No. I will never believe the American people are that stupid. Not with the mess we're in. -

I suggest you check out Obama's history with Acorn before you speak about anyone having a history with any kind of fraud. Obama, who will shortly be investigated for fraud considering he's been receiving donations from fictional organizations..."Good Will, and Doodad Pro???" Taking $10,000 worth of donations in small increments when the max allowed from any one organization is less then half that amount. And you have the odacity to say Rep have a history of fraud. What a joke.

After the Scam Bailout of 850 billion, do you really think we can afford Obama and his "Pipe Dreams? It is sorry to say but damage control is the name of the game. Except it is no game. You are talking about not only your future but the future of your children.

WILL you make the same mistake?For those too young to know or remember. Change for the sake of change is seldom for the better. 1975-76 the U.S. was in turmoil, and people were demanding change. An obscure young man with good credentials(exceptional credentials compared to the aspirants today). 1977, President Carter inherited an economy that was slowly emerging from a recession. After four years of the Carter presidency, both inflation and unemployment were worse than at the time of his inauguration. The annual inflation rate rose from 4.8% in 1976 to 6.8% in 1977, 9% in 1978, 11% in 1979, and hovered around 12% at the time of the 1980 election. Carter had pledged to eliminate federal deficits, the deficit 1979 $27.7 billion, 1980 was nearly $59 billion. Inflation(11-12 percent), and skyrocketing interest rates(21.5 percent). July 1980, Carter received a favorable rating of only 21% in the Gallup Poll. That was the lowest rating any president, including Richard Nixon at the time of his resignation, had received since polling began in 1936.This not to mention the devastated military preparedness and income tax rates. Do we need to re-live this in 2008-2012?-

ROFLMAO, are you truly serious? Republicans fiscally responsible? In the first four years of Bushs reign of errors he DOUBLED the debt, For those on the right who have trouble grasping the meaning he spent more in 4 years then ALL other President combined. MORE then ALL other President over a 230 year period. ANd in the next four he went on to try and double that. Great job.

I don't know how I will feel. After Bush won his second term I was devastated. I saw the handwriting on the wall and knew where this country was headed, unfortunately I was right. I would give McCain a chance but Palin scares me. I don't want her anywhere near the oval office.

Slate asks: Will those on the left be willing to say the same of McCain if Obama doesn’t win ".

Your expression of solidarity with the (potential) result,
is an example of patriotism that I would hope we would all emulate.
McCain has the ability to be a good president; although I would dread a Reagan-era-like internal struggle among his advisers and lobbyists.
On the other hand, I don't want any american to have too much loyalty to the president.
I worry that the US is falling into an Empirial Presidency; people talk like the candidates are running for Caesar, not the head of 1 branch of a multi-branch federal government designed to serve us and keep out of the way.
I intend to be a very serious critic of an Obama Administration
