What Democracy?
Not sure but "more of the same" doesn't sound very appealing to me. Not after 8 years of the disaster commonly referred to as "the Bush presidency."

More of the same ...

Might be time to start packing. The only thing that's holding me off are these six words:

"Forty eight more states to go."

1. Clinton and Bush are not the same.
The last time I heard that mantra was in 2000, when some asshats warned me that if I didn't vote for Nader, I would be voting for a Clintonian Democrat identical in every way to George Bush. That man's name was Al Gore, he went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize...Yet I still can't picture the world where the vote went the other way, and George Bush won the Nobel Peace prize for his environmental activism. Strange.

2. No, not exactly the same, certainly.
But I still don't want to have a beer with either one of them. :eyes:

3. I sure hope you don't have to leave.
However if more states show more of this last min influence crap. Or more of this Voting to prove media and polls is wrong crap. It may be much worse than more of the same.

This bullcrap needs to go.
