I may lean republican but I'm not too partisan to see that the republican party allowed corruption to wash all over them after they took power in the 90's. They broke their promises and went on a glut of spending and gov't growth (and that's ignoring the fallout from 9/11, katrina, etc). The current republican party might as well be the freaking democratic party because I can't tell much difference anymore. Barney Frank may have chipped away at loan regulations but Ted Stevens was taking money and gifts from CountryWide while he helped. There are a slew of other examples of both parties making money from the scandal.<br/><br/>I'm currently disgusted with our entire system. Both parties should be ashamed of themselves for throwing mud at a time when we need real leadership and good judgment. Obama is running on his charm because his policies are marxist and would be rejected if people knew about him. McCain is failing to effectively communicate his policies, and let's face it Sarah Palin doesn't have enough experience (and neither does obama). The republican fawning over Palin makes me ill. Call me an elitist but she's not smart enough for me. I like her as a person but not as my president. I was a solid McCain vote b4 Palin but now I'm thinking Bob Barr.<br/><br/>Obama will win for the same reasons that John Kennedy won (remember.. popularity contest.. good looking, speaks well, inspring, etc). People forget how awful the inexperienced JFK presidency was because of the tragedy that befell him. Even worse was the follow up of LBJ. However, that rise of the dems power and resulting diminishing of the repub power led to a republican revival eventually. Maybe this will be the lesson that the republican party needs so we can get away from personal greed and back to what's important -- the country and the great people that live in her.<br/><br/>We will prevail because of our people. We may be too lazy to pay attention to the world, but we're very smart and highly productive people. Let's just hope that we can achieve satisfactory gov't peacefully. Because otherwise Jefferson was right, eventually the gov't will become too oppressive, and then I wouldn't want to be a gov't employee.

Furthermore, the politicians who are supposed to represent us even when we aren’t paying attention are actively raping our future. I may lean republican but I’m not too partisan to see that the republican party allowed corruption to wash all over them after they took power in the 90′s.
