Wow! I am so happy, hopeful, relieved, etc. Last night reminded me of how I felt at Invesco a few months ago . . . it’s a good feeling. I used to be very politically ‘with it’. But after 2004 I admit I kind of shut down. It was just so depressing to see the direction the Bush administration was taking the country. So obviously I am happy with last night’s results, but a couple other things come to my mind about last night.
I’m so happy “Boulder Liberal Mark Udall” won his Senate race last night. Note to people running for a statewide office – maybe it’s not a good idea to throw a section of your state under the bus in your campaign ads. McCain/Palin I think also learned this lesson – I can’t believe how divisive some of their speeches were.
Which brings me to – maybe the Republican Party should split into 2 parties. A sane one and the wacko/hateful/lying/law breaking one. Who are these people telling Democrats to vote on Wed, calling for investigations into how “American” you are, etc. I hope you form your own Party and leave the decent Republicans alone.
And who are all these homophobic people in this country!! Shame on you!
Thank you, thank you Colorado voters for kicking Marilyn Musgrove out of her house seat. She had the craziest negative ads and I couldn’t even vote in that race because I don’t live in that district but I had to see all those ads. Bleck!
At least if Palin runs in 2012 she won’t hire the McCain crazies to run her campaign as they have been so happy to throw her under the bus for last night’s loss.
During McCain’s concession speech I felt like I was watching the end of Return of the Jedi where Darth Vader comes to his senses and realizes he has been led astray. I would gladly welcome back the McCain of 2000. I know you’re in there – I feel the good in you!!!
Good job Colorado and other western states going blue. Montana I am proud of you for being soooooo close!!
And finally. I hope Al Franken never concedes. Even if it is obvious he lost. It would just amuse me.
Well said Amy! Intelligent, witty and funny. Great post.
