Election Retrospect--RE Liberal University

Several things became blatantly apparent this recent election season--the first of which is the difficulty being in the minority on a predominantly liberal campus. I'm all in favor of zealously supporting your candidate, but I have to believe no candidate is worth fainting for. It's been said before and it's worth noting again, the truly best candidate for office isn't running.

It's unfortunate that Senator McCain didn't make it to the top office, but frankly I'm still in shock at how tight of a race he managed to pull off. I recall meeting Rick David, McCain's man-in-charge at the time, and the atmosphere of the event--we have a long trek ahead of us. And a long trek it was, but considering the political climate of the country, why did Senator McCain even stand a chance?

As a Democrat or liberal, I'd personally be both ashamed and befuddled at how, with every major issue favoring the left, the party managed to squeak by in an election that should have been a slam dunk from day one.

To recap election night in short, however, you'd have thought Jesus had returned to the world in a second coming and the sky was falling with honey and beer. As a matter of fact I recall a lot of beer being sprayed, albeit none from the sky, and certainly no honey as I recall no stickiness.

For all the conservative and Republican students out there, I felt your pain and it hurt. Fortunately for us, we don't pay taxes yet, for the most part anyway. Unfortunately for us, we will soon, and it will hurt all over again.
