McCain Supporters, It will be OK

For many McCain supporters, Tuesday night was a hard one to swallow.

Lets all just sit back and take a deep breath. Lets look at the bad news and get it out of the way. Yes, we elected a President who is the most Liberal in the Senate, has a relationship with a former Terrorist, will raise taxes for a majority of us, will increase entitlement, and quite honestly scares a great deal of us.

Now, lets look at some of the good news. It was a historical night. The US has elected a black man to the highest office. (I am concerned that it has caused a greater racial divide here than we had prior to the election, but more on that in a different blog entry.) It is a cycle. It is almost impossible to keep the White House after 8 years. Now, everything that happens can no longer be blamed on the Republicans. Sure for a while everything will still be their fault, due to Bush's policies. But by the time we get to the midterm elections, you can expect another shift in the Washington Politics. It is unlikely that the Democrats will be able to hold both houses. America historically does not support one party rule. You can fell rest assured that by the midterm America will want to put in the Checks and Balances of 2 party rule.

I am curious to see how this all shakes out. The Republican party needs to start now planning for the elections in 2 years and 4 years. The Democrats did their homework, they have been running this election for years. Remember the Obama speech at the National Convention? The did a hell of a job. They outplayed the Republicans. Better organized.
