If that's so, then IMO it's a looooong corner...

I don't envy the people who win their elections. They will face
monumental challenges. From the prez right down to the new school
board member who is finding out the district is heavily invested in
CDOs. I think we are living right now in "history" unlike any since
WWII. We should all pray that those elected will be up to the task and
will honorably attack the great challenges ahead. If they don't, if it
ends up as petty politics as usual, or worse, then God help us all...

Jon.

Wish I had said that. Thanks, Jon.

I love this country dearly. I hope and pray for her prosperity and
safety. I hope and pray that the discord, the disharmony of the last
eight years will end. I have never experienced as much hate from my
fellow citizens except when in uniform during the 60s.

strident disagreement and principled argument does not equal hate dave...

unfortunately, our culture has become one mired in blame and namecalling
- especially our political culture. nc's own jesse helms and his
brigade of ****stirrers are largely to blame, but so are each of us who
has allowed our human weakness, shallowness, and selfishness to win out
over our ability to think and care about our fellow citizens.

this is a monumentally historic moment and election...i'm not sure many
have really appreciated the uniqueness of this election, despite the
record turnout.

Congrats, Jeff. Let us now hope that no gun toting nut kills Obama.
The thought of Biden as potus is a scarey one.

Again, Congrats. I can live with the results. My big loss, however,
is that a dear friend, Sonny Parente lost his bid to the Massachusetts
House. He would have made a great rep.

Take care.
