America 1, Neocons 0.

Even though I've been watching the polls, I couldn't shake the sense of dread that somehow this election would be stolen somehow until now.

The Republican party is sunk for the foreseeable future - the lies that their faithful foot-soldiers have spent the last few months repeating (even on the forums here) ad-nauseum didn't stick and what little veneer of credibility they had left is gone.

Let's just hope that with the clear mandate that the new Democratic congress and Democratic administration has earned is taken to heart. Ever since I've been old enough to follow politics, the Democratic party has been the party of compromise aiming toward an ever-moving middle ground which has been further and further to the right. Let's hope that now they grow some balls and stand up for the values that the party is supposed to represent.

Congratulations America, we won. :-)
