And I believe, whether McCain is president or whether it is Obama, we will not only survive but will thrive. You might prefer to believe the fate of the nation hinges on this election. I think the fact that, after 232 years, we’re still having these elections and that they are freer than ever is proof that our fate is sound and our future will be bright."
