I voted for the loser (whom, unlike the last two losers, conceded with dignity).
But I'm not entirely upset, either. I had few moments in which I truly believed McCain had a legitimate shot, both because his campaign was extremely weak and poorly-managed, and because, credit to the Obamanator, his campaign was absolutely fantastic. Unlike Al Gore in 2000, who should have run away with the whole thing effortlessly, Obama and his staff understood that it was his election to lose and played like a winner the entire time. Kudos and congratulations to him. I don't know what kind of president he's going to be (hopefully nowhere near as socialist as he seems), but I would gladly take him over featherweights like Gore and Kerry.
