So it's too early for "Hail! Hail to Dorothy!" and "Ding Dong the witch is dead"?

Lots of steps and challenges left to go through. Lots of certifications, then electoral college elections, then congress acting on the results. We are months away from Biden to be able to “technically” claim he won. Game is not over until the fat lady sings. But all Biden has to do now is to take the hike then take a knee. But he hasn’t really won yet. Winning is getting inaugurated. It appears he is the president elect. That is about all he can claim at the moment.

Set in the fading days of the old west with territories becoming states and deciding who to elect as their representatives. Should it be Jimmy Stewart the righteous lawyer, or Lee Marvin the outlaw gang leader? The old fashioned idea that you sent the brightest and best educated person to Washington to represent you. Hah! Politicians are not held in great esteem today, and we would probably vote for Liberty Valance. I assume everyone has seen the movie. It’s an old John Ford western, in fact he shot it in B&W, but it’s a must see. Look at the cast – Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Lee Marvin, Vera Miles, Andy Devine, Edmond O’Brien, John Caradine, Lee Van Cleef.
