One of the most important things about this election will be Supreme Court replacements.  Currently the court has 4 liberals, 4 conservatives, and one semi-conservative.  At least two liberal justices will be retiring in the next presidential term.

So if McCain is elected president, the Supreme Court will have a conservative majority for a generation.  If Obama is elected president, the SC will remain balanced.

Seems like I remember someone pointing this out on this very BBS a few dozen or so times in the past back around........2000 and 2004 and 2008.

Can't remember who it was though.
