Election Anticipation

I tremble in anticipation of the coming presidential elections. The following quote sums up my fears very well:

“It is the tragedy and irony of Mrs. Clinton that the year she decided to run for president, her campaign was ambushed by the unforeseen rise of a luminous charismatic candidate.

“It may be the tragedy and irony of Mr. Obama that the year he reached for the far horizon came in the very period when Americans, wondering whether President Bush lacked the experience to succeed in the White House, again made experience the measure of a presidential contender.” — David Shribman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

And I wonder if this country can survive another Republican administration.
