I am surprised the repukes didn't do better this last election.

[Skip Intro]

Only seven years after 9*11, with two known wars on.

Obama ran a great campaign, there is no doubt. And an effective one as well, the results speak for themselves.

But how they fell in the last eight years. bush was riding high on zombie populartiy; yellow and orange alert levels were all the rage.

Mushroom clouds over American cities. I hear and obey.

Thought it was done with in 2004, but no, it was close, too close. They won again.

george w bush was voted into office by the American people for a second time*

wtf?

I mean, if they could pull that off, what hope did we have for 2008?

Ripples eventually fade, is my conclusion.

And palin was poison.

Yeah, again, Obama ran a great campaign. Phenomenal. On our side, that was great. On the repuke side, tho, they blew it big time. They fell apart. They turned into a circus with palin. She played the fear and war-mongering act, but with her "jumped the shark a long time ago" persona, the "BOO-TERRORIST" scare-a-thon wearing thin with a populace grown weary, it fell flat.

The party that had held a large portion of the people in a "vote Dem = vote terrorist" daze looked like an amateur act this time around. They really sucked.

I dunno.

I think they could have given us much more of a run than they did.

Not that the result would have been any different.
