On the eve of the election

It is very early Monday morning here, the beginning of a new work week.  As I am wrapping up for the early morning part of posting on this blog, this could be one of the last posts prior to the opening of the polls on Tuesday.

It is rather remarkable to look at the news sites on the web.  It is quite political and quite biased.  It is either Democrat or Republican.  Both claim that the election is a foregone conclusion.  Both cannot be right.  One side will lose and it will be very disappointing.

As for me, it is hard to believe that Obama can win in this environment.  Yet, he could.  It was hard for me to believe that a man such as himself with such a radical background could win in 2008, yet it happened.  The charge of racism is highly overblown.  If Obama was white and Romney was black, the same people would be voting the same way.  Race has nothing to do with it.  Race is a smoke screen, an excuse.  If anything, the racial motivations are coming from the left.

Whatever happens, the focus of this blog will be on solutions to problems.  These solutions are not likely to come from the political process.  The best that we can hope for from the politicians is for them to stay out of the way.  My hunch is that most of the people in this country understand it that way and will vote accordingly.

If the worst happens and Obama returns, the blog may become something of an escape from the lunacy overtaking the world and this country.  To a certain extent, that's what the blog already is.  But let us hope that sanity returns and Obama is on the way out.  The world will be better for it.
