The speed limit on the The Road to Serfdom (Hayek) was just lifted so speed on my misguided socialist friends.

No need to find a new job Tex. Obama and the Democrat controlled Congress will see to it that you are housed and fed. The price is small......your liberty.

Speed on modern liberals.
Bluntly, no matter what went down yesterday, we were looking at Congress controlled by a socialist party, and the White House controlled by a socialist party -- while I'd generally prefer McCain on a direct comparison, the biggest difference would have been having two socialist parties controlling them, not one.

Whether it's good change or not, one can be certain that an Obama presidency will indeed bring much more change than a McCain presidency could have, simply because he can do more with less hassle. (The flip side, of course, is that they can overreach quite easily, potentially handing Republicans the Congress in 2010.)
