election

In 2004, there was talk about how "the people have spoken" and how
this was a "clear mandate" that gave Bush "political capital".
However, if that was the second straight questionable election which
hung on one state which resulted in under 300 electoral votes, a
questionable 3% popular vote spread, then this year's results can only
be called one thing:

A total, complete and utter ass kicking - a rejection of conservative
policies, republican "values" as well as politics of fear and hate.
