i love how folk try to trivialize the results of this election by equating it to a game of kickball in your elementary school playground...stop being a sore loser...jesus....it is a pretty adolescent way to see politics.
the election presents problems all the way around--from mounting evidence of voter fraud (i'll post stuff once more information is available--and i am sure others are watching this as well) to the question of how to react to the nature of right discourse and its relation to new patterns of mobilization that exploit churches as organizing tools. the list goes on and on. it is naieve to expect that people who opposed everything about the first bush regime will suddenly stop doing it. because it is not like we lost a kickball game by 3%.
i would prefer to think about this outcome.
which requires you retain a distance from these ridiculous calls for "unity"
