too bad. and they all, something monte python, but i'm too drunk to remember. I'm miserable.

Too bad we couldn't elect a black female just to get this out of the way. Cinthia McCinney was on my ballot.

Ugh, don't count this over until every vote is counted. Projections are calling states when 14% are reporting. Alaska wasn't even done voting when McCain conceded. Concessions are not legally binding. Maybe it's optimistic, but look at the last two elections, it's not over till they're all counted.

Actually Slu, your comment about the second term of Carter is right on. Obama may be the poster child of political correctness but the democratic pro's in Congress will bury him.

The Clinton's entertained us for eight years with their hijinks and I'm sure Barry & the Clowns will do the same.

And, in the end little to nothing will change.

Thanx for the levity Slu. From you I'll take it; not AP.

PUMAs were as real as the Easter Bunny (that is, less so than Santa Claus.) Did you really believe otherwise?

Disappointed beyond words. And it's not so much right now as six, eight months, a year from now -- that's the craziness that will be the hardest to handle.

But maybe I'm to pessimistic, usually I'm trying to be the Pollyanna. So maybe it won't be nasty Hillary and doofy Bill all over again. Maybe??

Second term of Jimmy Carter? Not even close. This idiot is gonna make Jimmy Carter look like Thomas fuckin' Jefferson.

He's not "my president" he's Socialist Europe's President.
I'm not hailing him or following any laws he passes.. he's on his own far as I'm concerned....

I can accept that he won.

It would be less galling though if the integrity of the process wasn't questionable.

Is this country ever going to get serious about the voting system?

What is more corrosive to the legitimacy of government than the spectre of voter fraud or theft.

I don't hate that guy in the picture either. Sure, Radio was a crappy movie, but you can't lay the entire blame for that on Cuba Gooding.

Slu - you fought the good fight, with dignity and honor. It's appreciated out here in anonymous reader land more than you know. Thanks.



I agree with you and Allahpundit about not turning into the deranged-Left equivalent. Country First is easier to say when my side wins but it's even more important to say when faced with defeat.



I am a proud American. I was yesterday and will be tomorrow. All that "America is fundamentally racist" crap is and has been wrong for a long time, now we've got some hard evidence to counter it and that's a good thing.



It's our civic duty to resist the excesses we know are coming and I trust you and your readers will be at the forefront. Count me among that group, btw - I'm bookmarking your site today and encourage others to do the same. Now is when we begin to look out for us in earnest.

B. Hussein Obama is NOT MY President. He may belong to the leftwingnuts in this country, the Eurotrash and the Islamofascists, but don't expect the rest of us to follow suit.

B. Hussein Obama is NOT MY President.

I hear you and am not unsympathetic to your position although in the end I disagree.

This is still America and as always, since this country's founding, what's best about it it also on occasion what's worst about it.

No throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Country First is even more meaningful in the face of adversity.

You might not hate him. But for your own sake, you'd better never forget how he'd feel about you, if he ever deigned to acknowledge your existence.

We're not people to them, we're cogs. Nobody asks a cog how it feels about the machine it's a part of, and nobody sheds a tear when it's worked to a nub, unceremoniously pulled out, and discarded.

You can be above it all you want, and that's noble enoug. But you can't afford to forget he's not, and neither is his congregation.

You might not hate him. But for your own sake, you'd better never forget how he'd feel about you

Oh, trust me, I don't plan to.

"I hope this election teaches the GOP a valuable lesson - don't nominate a guy hated by the base."

Pitiful, Slu.

Pitiful, Slu.

What? You have to admit, we didn't exactly greet him with open arms when he became the nominee.

We're not people to them, we're cogs.

True. Of both the Left's opposition and their supporters alike. Useful idiots, all.

So the question is: what do we do about it? Give up, give in? No way.

There is formal power and there is informal power. I strongly suggest we dissenters explore the new opportunities these unfortunate circumstances open up. The alternative is flaccid defeat and I for one am never going there. I encourage others to join in as best they see fit.

Does anyone besides me miss all the political ads?

////mucho el sarc-o

I agree, it isn't the end of the world, so I'm not going to run down the street screaming "Oh the Humanity!"
Congratulations President-Elect Obama.
oh and that bumper car picture is hilarious!

I, too, fell asleep on my couch, and woke up at 11:30 when they were showing McCain's concession speech. That was painful. Went to bed praying there would be a miraculous turnaround overnight as the vote continued to be counted. This is a very depressing day.
