frandroidTo quote Bill Hicks from 1992: The elephant beast is dead!!
Which brings me back to my everlasting mantra... It's all ebb and flow, ebb and flow. We're cresting the wave tonight, let's hope it carries us a long way, and drowns the forces of darkness that now stand behind us.
I'd like to remind everyone that the electoral college numbers may give a mandate, but the popular vote is more nuanced: 52-47%. In spite of McCain's atrocious campaign, atrocious running-mate choice, in spite of his 90% voting record with Bush, in spite of his support of Bush's worst policy, in spite of all the negative campaigning, in spite of all that, McCain still got 47% of the vote.
