The Best Political Team in Town...

"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt... If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake." Thomas Jefferson

I think this screencap sums up the results of the evening! Poor Dubya....NOT!!!

Thank God it's over...almost. I'm exhausted and stayed up well into the wee hours of the morning watching the results come in and Wolf Blitzer making his dramatic projections. And hopefully after today...we can get back to regular programming. A few of us posted yesterday how there are other stories, other issues that need to be focused on...and Anderson needs to get back to "Keeping Them Honest."

Here is the latest results...bound to change again this afternoon as ballots are still be counted and in some states, recounted.



What did you think of the coverage last night? Did you watch any other channel besides CNN?

When the Gerg speaks, we all should listen...

"If he is seen as wearing two hats, reporters as well as the public will inevitably wonder: Is he speaking to us now as the traditional press secretary, or is he speaking to us as a political partisan?"

–DAVID R. GERGEN, an adviser to four presidents, on Tony Snow's sideline role as a speaker at fund-raisers for Republican candidates.

Screencap: Source unknown, but thank you!

MANIFESTO

Don't think for me. Don't assume what I want to hear or read. Give me facts. Give me reasons. But not yours. Bring me debate. Enlighten me. Today, accountability is masked behind anonymity; bylines are hidden by zeros and ones. Everyone publishes; everyone is "in the know." Ethics are non-existent. Speculation is king. The truth is masked and a hostage. Empowered by our minds, WE ARE THE FREAKSPEAKERS!
