Barring a latecomer like Chris Christie, I'm rooting for Obama. Looking at the field I have the sense that we are thoroughly fucked no matter what, and I derive a perverse satisfaction from watching this overhyped debutant flail around and the media falling all over itself to cover for him when they would have crucified Bush for doing the same thing. And who knows? Maybe eight years of Obama will bury Keynesian economics in the U.S. once and for all. (Then again, it might just bury the U.S. once and for all.)
