I would also say "if Obama wins" because it isn't a "done deal".  The  
votes haven't been cast, counted, contested, & confirmed.

McCain/Palin could still become the next Administration.  I would  
hope that everyone who opposes that alternative turns out to vote.

Obama/Biden could still become the next Administration.  I would hope  
that everyone who supports that alternative turns out to vote.

My bias is ...  Heck, I don't got no bias.  I am unabashed in my  
support for the calm, thoughtful candidate.  I don't claim to be  
unbiased on this election, and I haven't been that way since the 2000  
campaign.  The Republican policies don't benefit me.  I don't make $1  
million or more per year.  Whereas I do drink the water, and I do  
breathe the air.  I eat food and I have children who need a future.   
I don't need a federal government that believes it is okay to  
contaminate our world and destroy our environment.

I was doing some reading, stuff about "people fed", "water", "safe  
and secure environment", and the Bush invasion of Iraq.

February 25, 2003: Top Army General Says ‘Several Hundred Thousand  
Soldiers’ Will Be Needed to Secure Iraq
General Eric Shinseki, the Army Chief of Staff, tells the Senate  
Armed Services Committee that “something on the order of several  
hundred thousand soldiers” will be needed to secure post-invasion  
Iraq. “We’re talking about post-hostilities control over a piece of  
geography that’s fairly significant, with the kinds of ethnic  
tensions that could lead to other problems. And so it takes a  
significant ground- force presence to maintain a safe and secure  
environment, to ensure that people are fed, that water is  
distributed, all the normal responsibilities that go along with  
administering a situation like this.” [ASSOCIATED PRESS, 3/25/2003;

Also Gen. Anthony Zinni(ret.), Bush's Middle East mediator, warned  
that there could be a prolonged, difficult aftermath to an Iraq war.
And Lawrence Lindsey, the chairman of the National Economic Council,  
suggested that the Iraq  war could cost $100-$200 billion.

McCain may claim Foreign policy credentials, but in 2003 he didn't  
display any of them.  His cost was off.  And, his "surge" was four  
years late.
