My hope is that Obama wins. I find myself entranced not by Obama, but by the strong oratory of Biden. In fact, I would consider Obama too restrained, as it is demagoguery that permits translation of social anger and injustice into something palpable and tangible.
I mean no offense by my speech, but having watched the RNC it would seem that the GOP is acting like a circus; To clarify, their blatant disregard for those facts which will most impact the immediate future (global warming, the oil crisis, the skyrocketing cost of food), makes it feel as if the US is destined for catastrophic collapse in the coming years. The US is, nor can any empire ever be, invulnerable to the will of economic and social entropy.
