I voted for Obama, because it was literally the lesser of two evils. McCain was seriously a George Bush clone, and his drone Sarah Palin really dragged the campaign down (God the Katie Couric interview was disastrous)!

I don’t even think I could vote Republican these days unless I was literally a millionaire and wanted the tax cuts. I can’t watch Fox news without cringing at literally everything Hannity or Beck says. The only way I’d vote for a Republican candidate in the current political climate is if it was Ron Paul on the ticket. The man is a true conservative in my opinion.

I’m a registered independent, generally moderate… I’d say I fall in with the Libertarian ideaology like Dr. Paul pretty well. But, I really wish the Republicans would get their act together, because right now Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh and the other fanatics are making them look like a bunch of jackasses! If they don’t shape up, we’re in big trouble.

As far as Obama’s presidency is going, well I like alot of what he’s doing. I don’t like his Treasury department at all, and what’s up with not releasing FISA applicable information on George Bush’s shady stuff? Whatever, the country is still a heck of a lot better than off we’d be with McCain/Palin running the show.

I have to say, I’m a little bit encouraged by a few things I’ve seen thus far from the president-elect. It looks like he’s putting some of the groundwork into place to get his initiatives going. We’ll see - the election is over; all we can do is be optimistic.

Well, at least candidate’s A VP won’t be calling anyone a jerk during a TV interview.

On the other hand, I am also convinced nothing will actually change. It’s even not up to the candidates who run for the office.

Best wishes from Croatia!

It’s really this simple. You can’t campaign based on a promise for change in political ideology and then spend two years acting like a typical politician. It’s almost stupidly naive to believe change is imminent after observing these two candidates’ behavior for all this time.

If we get real change, great - I’ll take it! But I’ve set my expectations low…

I can’t say either have convinced me they can turn things around, but in the US election you vote for the one who is going to screw up the least and right now, that’s Obama in my opinion. Actually, isn’t that how you vote in all elections, regardless of nation?
