Problem is GR, in 8 years when people start waking up and thinking "oh, sh!t, whoops!" then you'll be up the creek again.

America is finally following Australia in something, and its kinda fun for the shoe to be on the other foot for once!:p

I can't believe you guys are being so snarky about it after such a good concession speech by McCain. How different would it have gone had his whole campaign been like this. He's done a great job, and he really transcended partisan politics in a way he should've tried for more of the campaign.

He said "the failure is mine and not yours". What he really should've said is "the failure is my campaign managers' and not yours". As much as I didn't support McCain at all, I feel slightly more sad that he lost after this. I think we saw a McCain tonight that really could've won. He doesn't deserve to take the blame here - the ones that do are his campaign managers, whoever made him more partisan and confrontational, and whoever suggested Palin to him.

Big respect to him. I hope he keeps up the good work in the senate, that's all I'll say.

Obama ran a tight ship meanwhile. No surprises there. But I really am disgusted by the continued partisan sentiment here. Come on now, here's a chance for a real historical moment in the US, and you're being baselessly and tastelessly snarky. For shame.

However, since he is a democrat with a plan to screw anyone who works for a living in order to support those people who want to sit around and get "crunk" all day... its hard for me to be hopeful... especially when im on the eve of opening my own business.

tough times ahead.... i might be shot down before i even get off the ground.

and Mcbee is right... my fully automatic weapons cache just nearly doubled in value

i see, so you were just blowing hard with your doom and gloom scenario for rhetorical purposes

Really? I don't think people are being any more snarky than the Democrats were in '00 and '04. Considerably less so in fact iirc.

After all somehow i doubt we'll see the GoP stealing the W's off the White House computers (or in Hillarys case trying to steal the furniture) and being law and order types, they are far less likely to go rioting in the streets because their man lost.

Personally I see the wind being taken out of any further accusations of racism amongst the mainstream white Americans.

I've ignored a few of the comments like this zach, but I've gotta ask - whose era of hate? Standing back and looking at things objectively, the only people who truly 'hate' at the moment are the whackjob extremists. They've hated for much longer than the previous 8 years, and will continue to hate even if BHO makes it into the top spot.

The era where torture was accepted.

The era where democrats were hated and demonized because we did not support invasion.

The era where war was the answer and if not you were some anti-American.

The era of "You are with us or you are with the terrorists"

The era where Muslim Americans were terrorized.

The era of "If you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear"

THAT era is over.

The ERA of the COWARD has begun...
