Anyway, compare what Allen said in his concession speech to what Harry Reid said about the Republicans not working with the Demograts. The ungrateful whiner makes my point beautifully.

And why should the Democrats pursue a ‘revengeful witchhunt’? All those evil Deibold machines seemed to have been hacked in the dems favor.

It’s not at all surprising that people are fed up with recent scandals of corruption as well (Tom Delay, Foley, etc.)

As for maturity, I don’t see Democrats pursuing some revengeful witch hunt now that they have control of congress either. Already Pilosi is doing the dance with Bush – but she’s just another crafty polictician, so it’s not that surprising. If there are any smart Democrats left they won’t want to fuck up their bid for the executive branch in 2008 so best not to appear unreasonable for the next 2 years.
This is why I’m cynical about “order being restored to the universe”, on the other hand, it will be back to business as usual soon enough.

As for where to spend tax dollars, both parties have their costly agendas, the important difference, for me anyhow, pertains to how that money is spent in Iraq.

You might be speaking too soon about lawsuits as the Senate race in Virginia has not been settle yet.

It is refreshing to Bush to admit his mistakes and to see Rumsfeld gone. I hope this trend continues as the politician sit down to discuss what to do about Iraq.

Also, gloating is fine as far as it goes, but the one thing I’ve noticed is that the Republicans are taking their defeat gracefully for the most part. I think it shows a maturity the Democrats lack. If things had swung the other way, the news would be filled with stories of all the filed lawsuits.
