Some Post-Election Reaction

Andrew Sullivan, who backed Kerry mostly on the gay marriage issue, has gone back to supporting the President.

I've been more than a little frustrated by the president's handling of this war in the past year; but we have to draw a line under that now. The past is the past. And George W. Bush is our president. He deserves a fresh start, a chance to prove himself again, and the constructive criticism of those of us who decided to back his opponent. He needs our prayers and our support for the enormous tasks still ahead of him. He has mine. Unequivocally.

I hope the Democrats take Kos' advice and have Howard Dean, M.D. lead their party. That should insure continued Republican victories.

"Terry Out. Get Howard in."

Michael Moore continues to be a disgusting pig.

Michael Totten found other reaction. Some is old fashioned handwringing. Some is a sign the deep-seated hatred for Bush will continue.

As for my reaction, it will be a little while. I was up to 5am today. I'm just taking it easy savoring the victory and doing some non-politics stuff. One reason I'm really glad this is all over is I can get back to some serious reading. Some potentially great books have come out or will come out this year, and I want to get through some of them to give them a shot at a coveted TAM Book Award.
