Got it right? So almost half of the country was wrong? I can accept that your candidate won, but I don't think that makes the other side wrong.

I'll be happy when this hype dies down.

Yep. That's exactly what I did.

Was there really rioting at Ole Miss last night?

Wow, touchy much? I don't know where I said anything about Obama. I didn't even vote for him, and as I said upthread, I don't perceive that much difference in how their administrations would play out (especially because the dems held the senate and the GOP held the house).

When it comes to voting for marriage equality, voting for the women's rights, voting for rape apologists, etc., there is a right and a wrong. For the most part, the American people got it right:

I don't agree with all of Obama's decisions, but I'm glad he won because I just didn't trust Romney enough to lead this country.
