Election Results

With the conclusion of Louisiana's congressional races, the election season is officially over (Okay, almost over; they are still battling over the recount in Minnesota. The actual voting is now over.) and the results have instilled some faith in the belief in the political system.

*Barack Obama beat a candidate that mirrored Bush's views.
*Ten Stevens, the convicted felon-for-a-senator from Alaska, lost his reelection bid.
*William "I store stacks of cash bribes in my freezer" Jefferson, a congressman from Louisiana, lost in his reelection bid even though he represented one of the most heavily Democratic districts in the nation.

Proof that our system really can work. Now if we can just get away from scurrilous emails and basing our votes on 30 second commercials. One can hope.
