As I said and Ebbie verifies with her personal experience, the voting process in the US is very well run in most places. We have some of the cleanest elections in the world.

The system is not perfect. 2000 didn't go the right way, and the US Supreme Court never should have intervened, especially because the end result was the least experienced candidate won the nod, and he ended up being one of the worst presidents in US history.

That said, Obama has even less experience going in than Bush II did. Not exactly confidence inducing. I certainly hope his lack of experience doesn't make things worse than they already are. I feel like that is the best we can hope for this time around.

I don't see any positive change looming over the horizon at this point. Circumstances have already dictated the only change we'll see for the forseeable future is change for the worse, regardless of who wins.

But if it is Obama, I really fear he could be as bad or even worse than Bush has been, strictly based upon his lack of experience and his Wall Street lawyers and lobbyists--his biggest Big Money donors.
