The election is over. I've been doing some research, and it appears that George W. Bush won. He even managed to get a majority of the popular vote. As unhappy as I am about the outcome, I'm glad it was definitive. Not a blowout, mind you — the country is still divided roughly 50/50 — but a clear, unambiguous result, something I once took for granted.
It has been said elsewhere, but it is a thought I have entertained for some time: having won the election, Bush will get to sleep in the bed he has made. Whatever happens, it should be pretty clear who is to be held responsible, and, perhaps, accountable.
And not only did the Republicans hold onto the presidency, but they picked up seats in the Senate and the House. They may be deceitful and dishonorable, but Karl Rove, Tom Delay, et. al. are smart, and they know how to win. The plan is working.
Welcome to the Republican Hegemony. Hang on for the ride.
