Following the Obama's win in the 2008 election, Jim posted a very gracious and eloquent congratulation thread. I was just reading it over, since I had forgotten it.
Many of the responses are not as civil -- the always combative crin and gaffer (rip) stating that Obama will never be their president -- but that is to be expected.
I don't recall being that accepting in 2004, but I was a different person back then.

Unfortunately Gabby, you were NOT a different person then. Your posting style/MO may be a little less edgy, but the meaning hasn't changed a bit.
As far as being gracious in defeat goes ... why? Lose something? Some of y'all take this WAY too personally.
I'm not going to take it easy on you. I expect stupid people to be stupid. Conversely, I consider the waste of a mind in lieu of inciting others a crime.
Oh, and @jimnyc is a weenie. He can't even hold a phone straight and drink beer at the same time.

Most liberals can't let things go, can't be happy for the opposing winner and can't start fresh for the good of the country.
