WUI (Writing under the influence)

We should thank Sarah Palin for we still have more than 40 seats in the Senate and lost only 25 in the house. Without her on the ticket many more conservatives would have stayed home (or not sent their ballots.) Measure 8 in California may not have passed.

So they riot just as they promised. Can you imagine what would have happened had Obama lost?

And they are angry because Prop 8 was bought? How about Obama's election? Also, California didn't legalize gay marriage; California's supremes did. It may be the same but the author purposefully doesn't say it.

BTW, if more woman did what's right (i.e., get married and stayed married) Obama wouldn't have had a chance.

I don't want to analyze why some Republicans simply stayed at home but they just did. I understand they wanted to punish the party or a particular politician (i.e., McCain, Smith, etc.) But there were a couple of ballot measures that could have passed if just a few more Republicans just voted and voted for them. Look what happened in TN:

A wave of rural support for presidential candidate John McCain helped lead Tennessee Republicans to majorities in both chambers of the General Assembly for the first time in 140 years.

Republicans turned over eight legislative seats in 27 mostly rural counties where McCain beat Democrat Barack Obama by a 32-point margin. President Bush won the same counties over Democrat John Kerry by 24 points in 2004.

Yes, we can!

Lastly, Democrats didn't win. Just as they did two years ago, Republicans lost this year because they act as Democrats. We will be back in 2010.
