Election 2004, another hurricane?

As we hit the home stretch of the presidential election, 2004, it occurs to me that none of us has a clue what's going to happen in the next six weeks. The society we live in has become so liquid that its bordering on unstable; one news cycle is all it would take to cause the river of these United States to burst its dam and run amok into unchartered territory. Get on your floaties and prepare for a bumpy ride! If you read my rant about the cable news media, you know that I view our current woes as a systemic illness affecting all our check and balance go-to institutions. Unlike the citizens of Florida, we don't have the option of escaping to higher ground. This election of 2004 promises to be one heck of a storm. Let's hope we're all still standing when it's over.
And I always thought of myself as an optimistic person! 4 more years of Bush makes me weak in the knees, and not in a good way.
