    All you Democrat bashers are going to have a bad day. It's the beginning of at least 12 years of Democrats running the country. Personally I couldn't be happier! I realize that there are many challenged posters here, most of them republicans who don't have a leader (never did) and don't have one on the horizon, who still post as if they were robbed of their win by a slim margin and sill have hopes of another republican as President. How ignorant can a party be? You guys have done yourselves in, your self serving arrogance has ruined your chances again. Estupidos!
