Because we have convinced ourselves about American exceptionalism and believe all the rhetoric, instead of actually looking at the problems and being reasonable about solving them.

Exactly right except it's not "just" hundreds of millions anymore.

This is true, but I think we have already flown the coop on that one and are screwed no matter what. If the environment is your concern, I see no other choice than the Green party and anyone who proclaims to be truly concerned about the environment and votes Democratic are either ill informed or clouded by other partisan issues cause inevitably as you said, Democrats are utlimately owned by the same corporations who rely on the status quo as the Republicans.

As far as what actually happens, I don't see it being much different than the Obama administration, which overall is probably not a good thing, but at least we don't have to worry about turning the social clock back because I don't see that as a Romney concern ala Reagans betrayal of the Evangelicals that supported his election.

Right. What does concern me is he will likely be less friendly with environmental issues...not that the dems are much better, but it is the one major issue I see where the two parties really do differ on a federal level.

I would guess fixing the economy, but at what cost? More deficits or more divide among the haves and have nots?
Right now the Republicans are in charge, and he will do whatever they want him to do. Hw will also get to appoint at least one SC judge, who will then have the opportunity to throw over affirmative action, Roe v Wade, etc.
