When you go after people like Palin did with those kinds of accusations, why should anyone feel bad for her? Does she feel bad for calling Obama a terrorist? She's crying because she isn't VP, which is understandable but selfish. I certainly don't feel bad about that.

Will America no longer stand beside Israel? And what will this "international crisis" be that Biden guarantees?

And what is wrong with America? Do we now just turn a blind eye to people who have anti-American sentiments and trust them as our leaders?

i am secretly terrified. I know that God is long suffering but this election has been a complete slap in the face to our Lord.

I can only imagine what awaits America..

Goddamn, black president and blue Virginia. Didn't see that one coming a few years ago.

Somehow out of all the election coverage I found Fox least annoying. CNN had those fucking holograms and MSNBC was just a goddamn gushfest. Sure, Fox had their typical Rovey obnoxious jerks, but fuck it, I like Britt Hume. I feel like he drinks whiskey out of a coffee cup.

McCain's speech was fantastic, if only he had just been himself this election rather than trying to do what he thought would get him the position thing, I think, would have gone a lot differently. Still, he ran a horrible campaign, so this is what he gets.

While I'm disappointed that my candidate lost, I have to say I'm feeling immense pride about our country electing a black president. McCain's speech was vintage McCain; classy, country-first bipartisanship. Barack Obama is my president now and I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

He really did run a shit campaign, but, I have to say, when the inevitable tell all book about his campaign comes out, it's going to be fascinating to see what they were really thinking.

Some of the things they came up with (his campaign) were just out there.
