The country definitely did not move to the left. While Obama gained more white votes than did John Kerry or Al Gore, he still only won the battleground states by a few (easily reversible) percentage points. The coaltion that he supposedly built is a proverbial house of cards. It was not anti-Palin or new Democrat but was based on economic uncertainty. It could easily turn Republican again in two years as happened to Bill Clinton. While you pray for the country, pray for the courts and judges. The new administration will try to run much social policy-making through the judiciary. We need to hold out hope that the courts won't easily be reshaped and forcibly move the country left. Bush wasn't all disaster -- he gave us some good judges. And, remember, it took a Jimmy Carter to get a Ronald Regan. There is still hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4511933567628878305.post-2604841191440188342008-11-05T15:55:00.000-05:002008-11-05T15:55:00.000-05:00It speaks volumes that our nation would elect some...It speaks volumes that our nation would elect someone like Obama. According to the Ohio Department of Health, there were 30,859 abortions performed in Ohio last year. This number will no doubt increase under the Obama presidency. The only way we will elect leaders worthy of the name ‘leader’ is though prayer and sacrifice for the conversion of our own hearts and that of our nation. The next four years will give us many opportunities for doing so. May God have mercy on our country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4511933567628878305.post-9813902327883688632008-11-05T13:38:00.000-05:002008-11-05T13:38:00.000-05:00I love this comment: if aging hack John McCain, un...I love this comment: if aging hack John McCain, unable to enthuse his own base, running after a disastrous eight years of a George W. Bush administration, in the face of an utterly hostile mainstream media, a collapsing economy, and the as-yet undetermined aftermath of an unpopular foreign war, can still be near or within the polling margin of error, this is not a liberal nation, or one panting for an Obama administration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
