When the campaign ends, and if Obama is elected the same forces will be in DC.
The enthusiastic voters who come out every 4 years will forget about politics
( not us board members, and activists- but the average Joe/Jane).

So getting a vote from an independant is not anything like uniting the contry..
the politicians will be in control - not the voters.

The country will get behind some good ideas - but Clinton's and Obma's are virtually the same.
