Not so final thought on Elections (National)...
Says it better than I could, and captures a good viewpoint.
Personally, not sure it was a mandate for the Democrats, as much as disgust for the Republicans.

| Bonus advice for Republicans, from Richard Bennett: |
| If Republicans want to win national elections they should drop the Southern Strategy that emphasizes guns, Bibles, and big spending, and adopt a Western Strategy that emphasizes small government, personal freedom, property rights, and the things that can only be done for us by government such as infrastructure, environmental protection, and (competent) national defense. This would be a return to Goldwater¹s ideals, and a rejection of the Religious Right¹s desire to use government to force a narrow set of social values on people. It¹s perfectly OK for the religious people to be grossed out by gays and abortion, but it¹s not OK to require everybody else to be grossed-out too. |
