Does it really matter who is elected?
If Gore had been president in 2000, do you think we would have incurred a trillion dollar debt in Iraq, destroyed the lives of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands if not millions of Iraqis, given the biggest boost ever to Islamic extremism, and incurred the opprobrium of much of the world?
Would FEMA have been staffed with political hacks?
Would we have a subprime lending crisis today? Read
this Washington Post story of how the Bush Administration
actively interfered with the efforts of state Attorneys General to address dangerous lending practices before they got out of hand.
If the answer to each of these is "yes", then I guess it doesn't matter who's elected.
