If Obama wins:

Increased diplomacy
Increased taxes on rich
Civil liberties protected
Stronger Currency
Weak stock market
More welfare
Less chance of war
Less chance of terrorist attacks (because we won't be stirring up the hornet's nest as much)

If McCain wins:

Diplomacy level stays the same (non-existent)
Taxes go up for everyone
More civil liberties threatened
Stronger stock market
Welfare stays the same
War with Iran
Currency devalued more
Palin becomes President when he dies
Many more fake crises like we've had under Bush

Neither sounds to good to me. I refuse to vote for either candidate, but I think Obama will be less harmful in the end. At least he doesn't seem like he wants to dominate the world. I would prefer waiting for a real threat or attack, instead of waging pre-emptive war. War against an idea is unacceptable (war on terrorism). Our response to 9-11 was not and is not worth it. Possibly the biggest overreaction in the history of the world.
