Today, thank whatever deity you might fancy, it will be over. At the moment, it looks as if Obama is the favorite. I thought I might list a couple of things I see as possible side effects of an Obama victory. (Sans gnashing teeth or messianic glee.)
- Those who have a vested interest in the racial status quo (on all sides) will largely refrain from referring to Obama as black or African-American, and refer to him as bi-racial or non-white.
- Anti-American rhetoric will start taking on overtly racist overtones especially in the Middle East.
- The Republican party leadership will implode, and it seems likely that over the next four to eight years the economic conservative wing may, in fact, take over from the imperialistic neo-cons and the religious right.
- This election will mark a high water mark for the Democrats, as they will have taken ownership of the mess our economy will become over the next two years.
- Republicans on the national stage will become a lot more diverse as the old guard is purged, and the remaining leadership finds it easier to have someone other than an old white guy critique the administration.
- Everyone running for office will suddenly realize the internet exists. ie. expect more Facebook ads and Twittering candidates.
- Palin 2012.

Regarding your point 1. – People have been referring to him as the “Half-White” since the primaries started. I reference Scott Weber’s Burton Blog as evidence, but I’ve heard others, as well.
Regarding point 3, I hope you’re right. It’s about time the economic conservatives get a vote! I just don’t want to wait 4 more years, especially under a Marxist president.
Point 5, It’s already started, just look at Sarah Palin.
Point 7, AMEN! PALIN 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My dream ticket? Sarah Palin / Ted Nugent
Lastly, and maybe most importantly, why can’t anyone tell the difference between a dairy cow and a beef cow! I thought the Chik-Fil-A advertisements were bad, but the Icanhazcheezburger picture above proves the point. These are dairy cows folks, and yes, a few of the male dairy bulls and some of the old dairy cows do go get slaughtered, they are NOT part of the commercial beef you buy at Whole Foods or Giant Eagle. They get ground up into dog/cat food or zoo animal food.
