Now that he appears to be about to be officially elected, I AM ashamed to be an American.

Exactly why over the past 24 hours I've changed my perspective. I no longer support this country in any way, shape, or form.
Anything and everything that happens to us from now till 2008, we deserve. It's what we get for allowing people to let this happen. You'd figure people would learn from history, but (cliche cliche), history is bound to repeat itself.
For a near 50/50 outcome that this election had, you'd think there would be a bit more fairness within representation elsewhere (Supreme Court, Senate, etc..), but this isn't the case.
This country is sad.
