I have great faith in the robustness of our system of government and in the Constitution itself. While I would rather see McCain/Palin win, I’m not going to panic or otherwise go off the deep end if Obama/Biden wins.

From the Far Eastern Economic Review: Guangdong Province alone, the heart of China’s low-cost manufacturing base, has seen half of the shoe manufacturing industry close shop (over 2,200 factories) this year.
