He thinks Obama will ease the polarization that leads to so many vehement disagreements, which he thinks bleed over to the online world. I think a lot of the nastiness will fade away, and we'll have a lot more pragmatic disagreements, and fewer mean-spirited, petty ones. Disagreement over bailout plans and solutions to economic problems is healthy. Impeaching a president over personal behavior (as caddish and comdemnable as that personal behavior was) is not good for the country.

> I think a lot of the nastiness will fade away Why? Will the folks who hated Bush become nice? Will the folks who supported him become nice? Are you arguing that Obama's election obligates his opponents to behave differently than Bush's elections obligated his opponents? What goes around, comes around. Reap and sow.
