The sun didn't fail to rise on November 5th.

I find it strange how before the election, you could not talk about politics without someone throwing at you the apparent fact that if Barack Obama was elected, America would be nuked/become communist/become Nazi Germany/be made a Muslim nation/cease to exist, all at once. What is even stranger is how those people magically shut their mouths once their candidate loses and how they are disappointed in people for not believing these doomsayings. I still have to put up with the anti-Christ crowd though.

Let's face it, the Republicans have no one but themselves to blame for this loss. They picked what was once a moderate senator and tried to make him into a super-conservative. This was a poor choice as the original, moderate side of John McCain was the one the won his senate seat and his nomination. Second, they made the most blatant pandering to displaced Hillary Clinton supporters with the nomination of then unknown Alaska governor Sarah Palin as Vice President. Not only was this a bad move because of Palin's lack of experience in all areas - foreign policy jokes withheld - but it was an insult to its target demographic of mostly moderate to liberal Clinton supporters due to Palin's stance on abortion and other social issues. In the end, they set themselves up to fail.

Back to the main point, bashing President-Elect Obama is pointless and will only show the stubborn bitterness of those that do it. Even if the Republicans are right, then Obama won't be re-elected, a new person will go in office, and America will continue on its way.
