Election Day

So did anyone catch the election results?

I kid, of course.

Last night was truly remarkable as Barack Obama garnered the the most votes ever for one candidate running for president. Breaking the record just set the last presidential election.

Oh and he's black too.

OK, "African-American".

Really he IS African American as he had a father from Kenya and a mother from the US.

Kinda neat since a lot of people who say they are "African American" don't know if they are from Africa or not...just a point I wanted to make.

The best part of the whole thing was to watch the right wing noise machine attempt to spin the win into a future loss.

I actually heard Sean Hannity say he was only hoping and wishing for the best for Obama and that he would not be as mean spirited as the "left" had been against President Bush.

That statement came after his NEW opening that is about three minutes of people like Rev. Wright and a lot of Obama quotes taken out of context implying that he is anti-American and wants to do in every person in the US.

Rush Limbaugh spent 20 minutes explaining how he is now only to let "real, proven conservatives" play and anyone who wants in "the game" will have to prove themselves first.

He also said he was not going to be "bitter" while talking through his teeth or yelling the entire time.

I'll give rush this much though: He set himself up from the start to be a winner. If McCain won it was only because he had decided to back him. If McCain lost it just goes to prove he was right that McCain should not have been the nominee in the first place.

Rose, of Quinn and Rose, was talking with a caller about how she went and prayed after voting.

She didn't say if she prayed for what was best for the US or if she prayed for Obama to lose. I would have called and asked but she seemed upset already...

So its started already.

Obama hasn't even been sworn in yet and pundits are ready to blame every wrong move on him.

Its going to be a long four years.

Or not.

One republican friend told me that they are already looking at the 2010 election to regain some seats in congress...sigh.
