10 more days until the election. Many of us have already voted, so the election is over for us.
Okay, here’s my prediction, and I’ve been saying this for the last few months: If Obama wins, he’ll win either small (3 to 4 points) or large (10 or more points).
In recent presidential elections, 10 or more points would be considered a landslide. If that happens, a lot of down ticket Democrats are going to win too. Recent polls look like we’re heading in that direction. We’ll see.
If Obama wins, I hope
he appoints a veteran Prosecutor as Attorney General. This totally preventable financial meltdown is hurting a lot people, and it’s going to hurt a lot more. As we descend into some very hard economic times, people are going to be mad as hell and looking for some justice. It would serve Obama and the American people if his administration goes after the tens of thousands of people who created and benefited from this vast, epic Ponzi scheme. Let’s see some perp walks!
The other thing I’d like to see is a national plan to build passenger rail between cities, commuter rail in our large
top 25 metro areas along with electric powered light rail, trolleys and buses for the top 50 cities.
This would be a massive undertaking that would have many benefits. It would also get us out in front of the declining oil resources that have essentially stabilized in many oil fields and are declining in most others.
We’d better try to build this transportation soon, or one day in the not to distant future, most of us are not going to be able to get from here to there.
If McCain/Palin wins, head for the hills!
