A life long Republican, I voted the Democratic party line out of disgust and a desire for change. We already see great changes. The One's idea of funding the rebuilding of infrastructure to stimulate the economy (and making bridges and roads difficult if not impossible to travel on for a year or two) is something new. The One can supply the new ideas and they can be implemented by his willing, eager and highly qualified staff. I am taking all of this on faith, something I've never done before. Before I would have decided that a green Nobel Laureate Energy Secretary was way over the top. Now I'm excited by each day's announcements from The One. He might fail, but he'll at least have made things interesting for all of us.
