A 3.5 million vote margin is pretty convincing showing of the way the US wants to be run and represent itself to the world.

This election will shape the country and the world pretty much for the rest of my life, I'd guess.

The foreign policy will affect the perception of America for decades, and the impending selection of new Supreme Court Justices will shape the freedoms of America for at least a half century.

I wonder how many people that elected Bush have actually been anywhere outside their insular neighborhood, because their vote just solidified changes in the world I doubt they comprehend.
