The day a Pubbie Wins in Washington D.C. is the day pigs fly. McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Kerry- all got massive victory. If Kerry had been Satan himself he would win Ask Mayor Barry. ---

**smartini** gets it. Why do the “rules” apply just to the Democrats? This election proves that we can’t campaign on truth, nor hope for logic. Personality is the key to the White House. Obama’s the man. Let’s run him a-sap. He’s “presidential”, and he’s in our camp, to boot. “You can’t do this, and you can’t do that”. Well, that worked so well this time, huh? Lots of Dems hate Hil. No love there. Hard to slander guy everyone likes. ---

We look south across the lake at our neighbours. What the hell just happened? Sleep, one eye open. The elephant might decide to roll over. On us. The website is up. Marryanamerican dot C A. Visit! Some ask: if you leave are you a traitor? You may be just regrouping. America is now dream and terror both. The world scrambles to think. ---
