We've been hearing for the last six months that racist Americans will never elect a black man, no matter what the polls show. This seems to have been the cast in 1982, and the pundits expected it to be the case for all time. Americans went to the polls and voted for policy, not skin color.

Barack Obama didn't just win - he got more than 2 electoral votes for every 1 McCain received. All swing states moved into the blue column. Florida, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada - most of these are places where Democrats just do not win. The American people are fed up with disastrous economic and foreign policy, and have demanded change. This broad mandate has shown itself across congressional and even gubernatorial elections last night.

All in all, this means the American people aren't as stupid as the news media like to believe.

The type of cool aid drinkers who bought into the idea of the Bradley effect playing a part in this election fall into the same category of blind ideologues who buy into things like:

• Big oil funding the McCain campaign more than the Obama campaign
• The idea that somehow America exports its oil to ANYONE
• The US Oil reserve has something to do with the government's desire to compete with consumers
• The Republicans are responsible for banking deregulation

And so on and so on.
Seriously.

LOL. You're the embodiment of Poe's Law.

So, you're saying that McCain is a "blind ideologue" drunk on his own cool aid?

Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.

"We" in this case meaning every present member of the Senate when the bill was passed (95 of them), and Bill Clinton who signed it into law. Get your facts straight.

Obama will never be elected, there are still too many people that can not handdle a black president.

And people will never be able to have indoor lighting, or fly. If God wanted us to fly, he would have given us wings. On that note, they'll never move the US capital from New York.

Obama didn't simply win the election - the Republicans suffered a humiliating defeat. The American people decided to hold the Republicans accountable for the tremendous failures of their policy, from Enron, deregulation, "privatize wins and socialize losses," Katrina ("Heckuva job, Brownie!" and domestic safety), domestic spying, disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Osama bin Laden's continuing freedom, massive outsourcing of jobs, the death of the middle class and biggest rift between rich (all 300 of them) and poor in history, and, well, you get the point.

Seems like America decided having a black president was better than having an "incompotent to tie his own shoes" president.

Ahh the vitriol and cool aid drinking with you. It always puts a smile on my face. I was playing Call of Duty - Modern Warfare today and saw another person in the game with the name "Learning Newbie". Of course I couldn't help but start torturing him, asking him if he voted for Obama, and asking him if he really thought the U.S. exported oil. He didn't get it. Then again, he couldnt understand why people refer to Obama as black when one of his parents is white.... maybe it was you.

So was George W Bush. But then he had to stop when Cheney told him it was time for milk and cookies, and handed him a copy of The Pet Goat.

You guys are cute always fighting/flirting

You are an insaine man did you know that?

It's not very nice to talk about GWB like that.

I would never talk to him that way when I get old enough to vote it will be for him.

I don't think you'll be able to vote for him....even if you really want to

just a thought

Of course you're not gay - you're only pretending to be a Republican, as per Poe's Law.
