Steady as She Goes

I've always felt that the election would come down to the issues, no matter how hard the McCain camp pressed otherwise. Of course, not owning a crystal ball, I did not foresee this financial crisis and it's impact on the election. Obama continues to show a steady hand, a firm grasp of the situation, and if he's a little light on details, it works in his favor because he leaves himself room to negotiate in a bipartisan manner. All this without alienating the other side, or losing the confidence of the John Q. Public.
