Re: <nettime> second thoughts on the American election

Not all of those 46% Republicans are nuts. If Obama really does pick  
a few Republicans for his cabinet and work with the more reasonable  
ones, he'll get at least the acquiescence if not cooperation of the  
non-rabid portion of the GOP. The crazier the remaining hardcore, the  
less they can organize toward their goal of wrecking the country as  
long as Democrats are in charge. If Obama is as stable as he appears,  
more and more people will tune out the rightwing mediasphere, which  
will end up as the monkey house where you go to watch them screech  
andd fling poo at each other. Just don't feed them or get too close  
to the bars.
