Difference from Denver

Here's a little different take on Obama and the Democrats in Denver, the campaign will be more of a coronation than a contest; and the real tests await in places as disparate as the Arctic and Georgia [eastern Europe] and Atlanta, Ga. - USA and needing water. The contest in the press and media will likely look like a horse race: Obama ahead, McCain closing fast, Obama pulling away at the end. But in reality the young voters will be with Obama, allowed to be under counted in the polls until honesty[ what little there is] requires correcting the polls near the election so that the results will not show the high priced polling companies were wrong.
Fuel prices will spike if weather turns bad but the trend has been down like the US economy. Despite words from all over of good economy, most of us can see closed businesses and dimmer expectations all around us. Infrastructure in the US has some serious issues and water supplies may join bridge safety as a warning sign that some things have been neglected too long. The good news is that people have seen more than eight years of official inaction from the national government where Republicans shut down so many ideas of progress, is that they are leaving soon, but it seems not soon enough... so expectations will be low for Obama but the opportunities to contribute to the improvement of a nation...are enormous. Starting with the Internet, on to health care, rebuilding and improving infrastructure [and jobs that would have to stay in the US] ; race relations- just stop pitting black-white-Hispanic against each other - It may not be a rising tide, but when the waters have been flat and shrinking for so long- and we are not allowed in the Yacht club - even a little wind blown wave is welcome.
