Are we going to start a flame war? What will this accomplish? NOTHING! The ballots are already being cast!

Now go sit in the corner with Veronica until you can behave with the rest of the class.

I don't know why they still want to fight.

It does not constitute a flame war to state the fact, that McClintock may be the spoiler. If that fact bothers you, so be it.

Thus my suggestion that we give the bickering a rest, for today at least. Prior to the election, there was at least some value in trying to convince others to adopt a particular position in order to try to achieve the best results. Tomorrow we can do the post-mortem and finger-pointing with hard data. Today, nothing is to be gained by back-biting from any side. Let's just sit back with a bowl of popcorn and watch the show, nothing we do will change the results (although of course the California Freepers should *vote* before they relax).
