What is it about these candidates that their essential personalities disappear and only re-appear in defeat? I think one of the things that made people get comfortable with Obama is that his tone and timbre, demeanor and message remained constant.<BR/><BR/>I gathered with some friends to watch the returns, cheer, cry, have some champaign and watch the speeches (little Sarah shed a tear. Boo hoo.) Then I came home and could not turn off the TV until after I watched Elizabeth Dole give a pissy farewell speech and Kay Hagan, who beat her, give a victory speech that had some ungracious parts, so there’s still lots to do re bi-partisanship. <BR/><BR/>It is just so amazing and so wonderful that it was decisive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34187948.post-86725025643256044072008-11-05T13:32:00.000-05:002008-11-05T13:32:00.000-05:00Excellent!!
