You guys both need to take a deep breath and read what I wrote a
second time. Despite the hysterics, Obama is, in fact, within a
stones throw of the center, as is John McCain. That's precisely why
the vote was as close as it was. I think you are going to see John
McCain doing his best to work with Obama for the common goal of
moving us forward and fixing some of the damge wrought in the past 8
years. You will also see all those who really want to "put America
first" doing the same.

get out of "campaign mode". *The campaign is now OVER and the fat
lady has sung. Watch John McCain and follow his example.

I
would love to have a centrist party.

The Republicans left me behind when they started kissing

I know very few people who would buy all of their party's

What...you don't want to follow the example that the Democrats have
set for the last eight years? OK, I will give him a chance but I will
also be keeping score on the number of promises that he breaks.

Politicians don't break promise. They just delay them because of
unforeseen circumstances. Eventualy it's "I still commit to that promise
and will get it done next term."
