According to Fox, Wicker has held on to his seat in Mississippi, apparently making it highly, highly unlikely that the Democrats will attain a filibuster-proof majority.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Re: The Final US Election Thread
Congratulations to President-elect Obama and to America. I hope your choice proves to be the correct one.
As it is 4am here, I bid you all goodnight.

Should be obvious, but I voted No.

With respect: Nah... one citizen got picked to replace another citizen as Top Citizen. We do it every four years. No biggie. :)
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

I think you are wrong on that Kukri, it is very much historic and most honourable. Quite brilliant.
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Most if not all American non-whites probably feel this is a very big deal. :)
Edit: Give me a freakin break guys! This is history. This is stuff minorities in this country have wanted and hoped for for three centuries. Getting a President of your race is no big deal if you're a white guy. Let people enjoy it. ;)

I take your point, and appreciate your enthusiasm. After all these years, do you not recognize american understatement? I know you haven't seen it very much here in the backroom, but believe me, it is prevalent in all communities here: black, white, brown; rich, poor; privileged, oppressed: it's just not polite to brag too hard.
Unless you're Texan. :wink :
