Despite the angry rhetoric, legal threats and insults from out-of-state groups that descended on us, Florida managed to get through an election with few problems.

Left over from Tuesday are some pretty bewildered Democrats.

KEYWORDS:
Read through the entire article, very interesting info about one of Jeb's aides...She is barely 5 feet tall, but Alia Faraj, who turned 40 last week and looks 25, packs a punch as she moves around with long curls flying. Faraj should get credit for improving communications and operations when the state Division of Elections was in a free fall.

A native of Jordan, Faraj speaks fluent Arabic and could be seen live on Kuwait Television during Tuesday's vote count. She is the daughter of a Jordanian diplomat and ambassador who lived in five countries and has traveled extensively through the Middle East, Asia, South America, Europe and North Africa.

Wild, bewildered Democrats wandering in the wilderness whining as to why their candidates wimped out?

But now, there are not nearly as many of them in office.

As Rush Limbaugh has remarked, liberals can be hysterically funny, so long as they do not actually get into any position where they may exert power, and at least two should be kept on each college campus, as a kind of preserve for the species. But never, ever, allow their numbers to increase above a bare minimum needed for propagation of the gene pool.

They're not bewildered. They are certain the electronic voter machines were rigged. I don't know if that's true or not but if they are rigged...I'm glad their our voter machines. And I think we should buy some more...they seem to work very well. :)

They're not bewildered.

As I remember it, the original definition of 'bewildered' is something to the effect of "Under the mistaken impression that mysterious forces outside one's control are influencing one's fate and sense of self-worth."

This definition seems to fit today's whiny childlike RATs to a tee.

My mother in Houston listened to two women as they discussed that they believed the machines were rigged by the company from Texas, and that they wished someone would kill President Bush. My mom was appalled, but figured these two were so far gone there was no use trying to convince them that the election was straight.
