Well, about 90% of the cheerleaders here at F.R. were saying that we were going to win.

I laughed, but I still went and stayed on line for an hour and a half to vote for the pathetic old schmoo McCain and the Republicans.

I think it's time to start refocusing on the party itself that got clobbered so badly.

I was one of the “cheerleaders” I did really think we were going to win.

And it wasn't that much of a clobbering, all things considered (that being the mood of the nation, the media worship of 0bama, and the historic nature of his candidacy, and the fact that McCain was and is a legislatively confused old man).
