Moving On

Yesterday's elections didn't go how I would have liked, but I'm glad they're over. I congratulate Senator Obama on his win, and hope that I was wrong about him, thought I doubt it.

Senator McCain ran an honorable campaign. Just think how well he could have done if he understood how to combine "honorable" with "strong" or "effective."

At least we can hope that he learned a thing or two about campaign finance.

I am pleased with the overall conservative response to the election results. There was nothing so gracious, dignified, or magnanimous in 2004 (or 2000 for that matter).

While I firmly believe that it would have been better for the country to have elected McCain, I do appreciate that, like it or not, the Republican Party and Conservatives to reconsider who they are and what they stand for. A hint: it isn't that we've been too conservative.

I haven't agreed with President Bush on everything he's done, but mark my words: He will be much better remembered than many (especially those of you itching to point out in the comments that he's a war criminal and a moron and a facist) now expect.
