I'm going to be disgusted if it's that close. But I'm going to be really, extremely disappointed if Romney wins. I'm even going to be afraid, because the kind of garbage I hear coming out of Republican mouthpieces lately reeks of the same messages and tactics seen in pre-war Germany. The entire Republican platform is running on promises, not facts; and often promises contrary to facts. Regardless of party affiliations, Romney's proven himself to be a deceitful opportunist. That's all that matters.

I'm not going to make any ridiculous, childish threats like, 'If he wins, I'm going to Canada!' However I will say that I'm thankful that I have a career where I actually do have that kind of portability. My only barriers to emigrating anywhere in the civilized world are paperwork and whatever cultural adaptations my family will have to make (including speaking the native language).
