50. Some of us saw this coming and refused to underestimate it...
Doesn't matter what we think. Doesn't matter how well we recognize the delusional, projecting nature of these television shills.

I don't have a crystal ball to see what the net effect will be, but I know that some people of my parent's generation are a little scared and hesitant of the Obama phenomenon, and do not have access to the kind of information resources we take for granted. They are not bad people, and would like to trust that something new and better is on the horizon, but they are fearful.

The JFK precedent is a saving grace (thanks, onenote), and I believe we should spread awareness of it to help inoculate people against vacuous fear mongers.
