I drank a bit too much last night. Didn't feel so hot as I went to bed. Felt good about the election, but not so good in my stomach. Note to self: chicken goes well with one bottle of chardenay, but don't try to polish off two!

I thought McCain's concession speech was outstanding work (well all except the props to Palin, but hey, he was supposed to say nice things in a concession speech) and really well delivered. I found myself thinking that if he campaigned talking like that, he would have pursuaded a lot more votes, despite the Bush turds that shackled his campaign.

Obama ran an outstanding campaign, and gave an inspirational victory speech, but really, he should have thanked the Bush administration for ensuring the ultimate success of his election. I thought the Dems were taking a risky path with their two frontrunners being a female and a black in what was highly likely to be a very close election. Small but significant demographics who just won't vote for a female or a black make an important difference if the election is going to be close. Only the misery that is Bushco could tip an otherwise close balance. Just this once, I thank George Bush and his miserable administration for giving us Obama as our next president.
