Everyone having fun yet?

This is still falling pretty much like I said about a week and a half ago, unfortunately.

It's time to grit our teeth and become the "Distinguished Competition." Let's at least do so with honor and take the high road - we'll come out smelling better in two years...

I agree. Sucks to lose, but I refuse to melt down online about it like a DUmmie.

Well I hate to say this, but the Republicans have nobody to blame but themselves for this. The GOP catered to the Fundamentalist crowd to the exclusion of all else they once stood for, and this is what happened. Combining a message of moral superiority while getting stuck in scandal after scandal eventually wears thin. Ignoring spending while handing out so much pork it makes Robert Byrd look like Ebeneezer Scrooge also doesn't cut it.

The greatest lesson that the GOP could take from this as it licks its wounds is to remember the words of the Great One: "Government is not the solution to the problem-government is the problem." Sadly, they forgot that in their zeal to please the Christian Socialist idiots who took over the party and pretty much drove everybody else away. At the very least, let's hope that as the loyal opposition, they will actually start acting like Republicans again.
