    gloating

    As an add-on, Farnsworth is correct to warn against gloating. I am still not confident that a combination of the Bradley Effect and Republican voter intimidation won't allow John McCain/Sarah Palin to squeak by, with whatever aid a 5/4 Supreme Court can provide.

    I won't gloat afterward either. We need to bring America together and not show the kind of behavior that Republicans did after taking over Congress in 1994. Conservatives will still, naturally, seethe with hate, and there is nothing we can do about that. Hate is a bedrock tenet of Conservatism and they will not give it up, every. But I, for one, will not contribute to the river of venom that will be the Conservative movement after Election Day.
