That's where I was heading, Kat, but I noticed this thread was gettin' pretty heavy.

This is a crucial election for the US, imo. The country cannot withstand four more Republican years. I wish Obama would take the gloves off and get into the fray. I'm not particularly enamored of the Democrats, given their coziness with GWB over that past six or seven years, bot of the two major parties, I truly hope for the sake of what's left of democracy in the USA that the Democrats win this one.
