-Presidential campaigns will be changed forever. In the past election, both presidents have agreed to accept gov funding and therefore a limit on how much $ they could spend on a campaign. Obama was the first president ever to reject this. He spent over $300 mil, as opposed to the Federally allotted $85 mil. That means no Pres candidate will ever accept the spending restrictions. So, i hope you like campaign adds, cause they will be everywhere in 4 years.
The other, more worrisome change, is the obvious trump card of Charisma and empty rhetoric. I still believe that the majority of americans do not agree with Obama's political views. However, he was a very inspirational speaker. I fear that honesty, consistency, and experience has no taken a back seat to Charisma. We'll see.
-Finally, I'm a little disapointed in the doom and gloom reaction of conservative Christians. I stated in an earlier post that my hope rests in Christ, not some politician. That applies across the board. God is in control, and i'm following Him. Therefore, i have absolutely nothing to worry about. This country could turn into a socialist dictatorship and i will still praise God's and thank Him for His sovereign plan.
And if your not a Christian. Well, maybe you should panic. Or better yet, use this as an opportunity realize that everyone and everything in this world will fail you, except God. So, maybe you should think of placing your hope, faith, and dedication into the one person that will never leave you, nor forsake you.
Only God will take you as you are, and never leave you the same again.

Scott- I just found your blog and I totally, one hundred percent agree with your position. I wish I had written it. It's actually the first thing I've seen on the election that I've felt that way about. Thanks! Annette
