[MD] political harmony

Yeah, and I noticed you didn't respond to my post to you so I guess you don't have an answer.

What post to me? The one where you asked for specific things I think Obama will change? Since I wasn't making any claims he would change the system (to the large scale changes Paul has argued for), I figured you were once again lumping me into a group erroneously.  Once again, I reiterate my position. Obama was (IMHO) the better choice of the two, but both would have governed largely as a centrist/moderate. In these elections, a third-party candidate is simply not viable, and will not be viable until a bottom-up capturing of local and state positions secures a large enough base. Until that point, a third party vote on the federal election is (again, IMHO) wasted, as it secures the election for someone who do not want. What I do is cast my federal vote for the better of the two main choices, then vote third party on all state and local ballots when possible (sometimes libertarian, sometimes green, sometimes populist, if the option is there and the person
 is honorable).
 Does that answer your question?

I think it's too late for a third party solution in the white house.  That would threaten 
the establishment so events will get worse before that could ever happen.  Obama 
quells the fears and anger of people, but once again people will wake up to his 
'no change' and people will start all over again, but I'm wondering if it is too late.  
You answered my question, sort of.  I'm satisfied, thanks.  At least I see where 
people's focus and hopes lay.  Mine are in a different direction, but enough about 
me.
