will an Obama victory signify the end of the embargo?

by itself, not likely ... but

(yes, there's a but)

with the House and the Senate firmly in Democrat hands, it is very possible (indeed, likely) that the 50-year-old embargo may come to an end

and it's about time

why?

because the US has been stuck on a policy that has not worked for fifty years. maybe it's time to try something else? heck, it can't fail any more miserably than the embargo.
