After just a few days in the military you learn to respect the rank of those who have achieved it, whether you like it or not.
On that note, congratulations to President-elect Barack Obama, our next President.
He may not have been our choice (Georgia did her part) but he is the duly elected president.
Like a lot of things, we'll learn to live with it. (We survived Jimmy Carter.)
There are 1,459 days until the next Presidential election. Republicans need to start selecting a candidate we can agree on now. It will take that long to get the scattered pieces of the party back together.
The best rumor I've heard is that the country's best Conservative thinker and organizer, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, is being considered as Chairman of the Republican National Committee. When I started writing this I thought that Haley Barber was RNC Chair. Turns out it's Mike Duncan, according to the RNC website. I guess he did a good job with what he had to work with, but Newt is the master.
Republicans need to quit sniping at each other and trying to place blame on each other. We didn't have a candidate and we didn't stick to message. It's that simple.
We only have a couple of years to find a charismatic candidate who we can agree on and memorize three talking points and keep repeating them.
Saturday it's 1,458 and counting.
