Clint, what are your thoughts on the elction? I am not familar enough with either of the candidates to have a strong opinion. The Washingtonians that I work with don't seem to be very emotional about it - which is a good thing.

I’ve experienced the same thing. Not much emotion. I would like to see the obvious winner win but I don’t even feel much passion about it. I do think it is an important issue though.
The way close races are handled says a lot about the intensity of the battle between the two parties. It also has an impact on the ability of the “winner” to govern. If a race that appears to be won by one candidate ends up being won by the other after three recounts it guarantees a tough four years. We need to find a way to be confident in the outcome of these elections, even if they are close, for the good of the country. Things are tough enough without constantly questioning the legitimacy of our leaders.
Thank you for repeating your post.
