Cause that just doesn't have the same ring to it, if you ask me....just saying.

3. You're right. It will be interesting to see if DU splinters.
It always struck me as a kind of e-redoubt for American political refugees. With the landslide unfolding today, there will no longer be a need for refuge, and I expect that while DU will grow, many here will go on to bigger and better things. So a Democratic victory will be bittersweet. Well, okay, not so much bitter, more sweet. :D

12. Kick Democratic ass now. Keep them on their toes,
to say the least.

Still not left enough for me (but I'm a European).

7. No, Democrats are better because they can take criticism and implement change
So whoever our elected officials are, they need all of us to let them know when they are screwing up.

10. It's still underground,
Skinner's mission statement was specific about "left leaning" candidates. This is just a foot in the door, there's still the reptilian ancestors of modern donkeys to be dealt with.

11. No, because,
in reality, we aren't going to agree with most of the shit Obama will do.

Don't kill me, but I still think he's just the lesser of two evils. Okay, he isn't evil, but he definitely isn't my first choice.
