Mitt is Out

It's funny that I should be so sad over something so Republican, yet here I am, alone in the computer lab, with a sad and heavy heart. I called Jill for some comfort-she says I am overly dramatic. I say that we just lost the best Republican candidate that the party has seen in years. Finally someone who knew and understood how to make a successful business run. A true genius.

I don't know even know that I would have voted for him in the general election, but to see him lost his seat to stupid freaking McCain is a total upheaval of Republican ideals. The exit polls are clear indicators of the problem with McCain-he is being supported mostly by independents and left-leaning Republicans, not the GOP base that he would need to win in a general election.

I am happy that the white house will go to the Democrats this fall (with a Democratic administration, congress, and house, maybe some things can finally get done). I have to say though, I am sad that there won't be much competition. Mitt vs. Hillary (or Obama) would've certainly been worth watching.

I should relate that the match-up polls have shown that voters are more likely to vote for McCain over Hillary, and Obama over McCain, indicating that maybe some people do like McCain. There are problems here as well, though. First, this election year has seen several large blunders from the pollsters. Second, the general election is months away, and I am certain that in debates and future campaigning, McCain's temperamental approach will hurt his campaign in ways that the Dem camp will take advantage of (have you seen his recent behavior in debates? Despicable at best. Al gore took the same caustic approach in the final debates with Bush, then lost the election. It just doesn't work).

I am certain this will be a win for the democrats.
