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.
