Perhaps you already know why, but I think it's because the other side (there are really only two parties) hasn't done too well this last near-decade. Same deal with the "more happy stories about the democrat contender"... Seems sorta like math. Almost everyone was ready for change, truth be told, I think. Anyways, I don't let supporters sway me much -- Apple is a good example. I disliked Apple because it was so closed-source. When it started to go "open" (still not really there, but *wow* compared to how it was) I gave it the props I thought it deserved (plus some encouragement). I respected McCain for a while, too. I don't think the "a rock could have won" idea holds water, really. His campaign pushed many good people out although it brought wing-nuts in. McCain /could/ have been that change, I think. If things had been different. Perhaps. His concession speech earned a good deal of that respect back. Noice! Letting others sway your ideals doesn't seem very awesome, basically. :-)p -- For though we love both the truth and our friends, piety requires us to honor the truth first.
