Tbh I see the political landscape gradually moving into a progressively more pro-democrat fashion if republicans continue to align themselves tightly with Christianity and conservative social practices. Cutting it bluntly, being against gay marriage ect. as the country becomes progressively liberal is a long-term loss as they are trading in votes incoming from Christian die hards in Bible Belt States for a young youth population in college that may continue to see the party as being bigoted for holding a restrictive stance on social attitude. This is presuming that few people elect a president on other factors say foreign policy or their economic plan. Stances which go ignored simply because both topics tend to be complex and unstable on many levels and neither candidate can really promise a solid sell in either category given the spontaneity of terrorism and the irregular random walks created by speculation and corruption within Wall Street.
I don't understand the economy at all. Much less, a plan to improve the economy. Trillion dollars in increasing debt and yet America moves forward. The Fed handing out 40 billion a month for mortgage back securities and you pick up any investment article and you see majorly positive commentary with people downplaying potential volatility. Theoretically bailing out companies that are too big to fail (AIG). Bailing out hedge funds that made high risk gambles on billion of dollars (Long-Term Capital Management). Pump and dump (Facebook) with suspected insider trading market bullying on the stock index. It seems like a jungle for christ's sakes where some insiders have hunting rifles and the people that are being hunted are mostly uneducated investors, which basically means you don't already make billions and have an inside tract to the company's executive decisions two months down the road.
