Election season is over, but for the post mortems

Did that feel like the longest election season ever? Maybe I was just paying more attention this time. I was utterly obsessed with election news over the last few weeks, which seems to be the case for a number of my acquaintances.

At this point it’s all over but the finger pointing on the GOP side.

A friend sent me an unattributed comic that just about sums it up for us. (If you know the creator, please leave me a link.) From the comics at XKCD

What’s really next?  I guess we can now look to Obama building his team over the next few months as he prepares to dig into the Bush-push quagmire come January 20th.  He got us to HOPE, and we gave him a mandate to ACT.

Now we all have to help him get the CHANGE done. I don’t doubt an Obama administration is going to give the blogosphere lots to dissect and debate.

    That comic is from xkcd.com. I thought having xkcd in your RSS reader was some sort of law.

    I just saw a clip on UK TV where a reporter asked Palin who she had voted for. Palin then refused to say, stating that it was a persons right not to say. I almost banged my head against a wall, in fact had I been sat closer to a wall, I’ll have made the effort.

    She’s backed away from calling for convicted Sen. Stevens to resign, so odds are she voted for him, not his opponent

    She’s planning to do an interview with GOP-loving Fox News over the weekend to be aired on Monday, so I’m sure she’ll be as folksy and vague as ever for her fans.

    Should I be shocked that certain quarters in the GOP are reported to be pushing for her to make a run for President in 2012?

    Surely the fall out from this election will be enough to kill that idea stone dead.

    Exit polls placed her behind Mittens and Huckabee, so 4 years from now she’ll be a goner. And IF the GOP recovenes as a Far Far Right party with her at the helm, Obama will win re-election with ease.
