McCain has lost.
Dear Republican readers, it is time to throw in the towel. McCain blew it. Palin should go home to Alaska, and the last loyal campaign staffer should turn off the lights and try to ditch the hotel bill at the end of the night. Mrs. McCain should take her husband to bed.
Dear Democrat bigwigs: Please note that I never at any time endorsed John McCain against a Democrat candidate. The only reason I registered Republican was to stop that snake oil salesman Romney. I would do it again. The man is a creep, and I would be hard-pressed to think of someone I would support less than him. Now, as to what position would be appropriate for me: I was thinking of something cabinet level. State would be great. Let's face it: Obama doesn't know from shinola the first thing about how to handle the Iranians, and we know that he is going to lurch from the naive idealist to the hard-bitten cynic back and forth and will muck everything up (see Carter, Jimmy). I bring cold, German Realpolitik to the table. Trust no one. Discipline dissenters in the ranks of allies. Deal with enemies only in back rooms. Invade Canada on general principles. Obama, I am your man! If you put me in State, I will stop making fun of your ears and pointing out the similarities between you and Jack Kennedy.
Keilholtz for Secretary of State!
Believe!
Obey!
Fight!
Absolutely. We tend to see much closer to eye-to-eye with the Democrats than the Protestant GOP.
If you people would just give up the homos and babykilling, every election would be like last night. I'd even join a party with as loathsome a name if it did that.
But you people are stubborn. What is it with the homos and babykillers?
The old Reds were not into the homos. You dishonor Bunuel. You dishonor Che. You dishonor Fidel, before he got all senile and came under the influence of his granddaughter. Turn on them! They are doing you no good. Do you really want some fellow sashaying into your cells in a dress?

Anything I ever said about them being two-bit scheisters or vicious rats or nodding with approval at the description of Obama as a "charismatic charlatan" were purely in jest. Just little jokes between me and my good, good friends, the Democrat Party. I just love Democrats.
Did I get State?

So you have to apologize to the "Bigwigs"? What are you afraid of?
