... on CNN. The Obama sweep went pretty much as I expected and have been saying since before I left the States. I still believe beyond anything else, it was the debates that killed McCain; just as soon as you put the two together - side-by-side - and look and listen to them both, there really is no choice. Obama totally outclasses McCain at every level. Of course, now this that Obama has won the next big question is whether it actually amounts to anything. Frankly I have no idea what he could do to even start getting us out of all the messes Bush has put us into. I suppose we'll see.
In other election news:
My Mom lost her bid for the Georgia State legislature, but that isn't a big srprise since she lives in a die-hard right-wing conservative area and ran as a progressive Democrat. Nevertheless, she pulled in 30% of the vote, which is respectable. For more: Click Here.
Outspoken anti-war Congressman Dennis Kucinich managed to hang on to his seat in Congress for Ohio, which is a good thing. That presimably means that indicting Bush for his many crimes is still on the table in Congress. For more: Click Here.
The Al Franken race is Minnesota is, as of this time, still too close to call. FOX is calling it for Coleman, but that's FOX and no one with a lick of sense considers that a reliable source of news. All the other sources are still saying it is too close and there will probably be a recount.
Another thing that was on my nerves was the way that the MSM was describing Colorado as a "battleground state" and suggesting that it would be very close. This is because I didn't see this at all and predicted an Obama sweep and it looks like I was right about that. The Denver Post is reporting 52.6% to 45% in favor of Obama, Udall got in, and that evil bitch Marilyn Musgrave lost her seat thereby removing a major stain on COlorado. For more: Click Here. Luckily it also seems that the "right-to-work" anti-labor union amendment is about to fail (Amendment 47), the radical anti-choice amendment (Amendment 48) looks to have lost very heavily, and the anti-Affirmative Action amendment is still in the air.
And I don't see anything yet about how the Green Party fared.
Anyway, I'll post another blog later today describing in detail my trip to Navan & Dublin.
