Honestly, the US appears to be perfectly split, give of take a few points... and those few percentage points can come from the color of the candidates hair to the size of his wife's boobs.
Did the dems fuck up this time around? Yup. Without some fuckups, we would be having this same discussion 2% the other way. Not because more people beleive in the policies one way or another, but becuase of a comment, an approach, or a situation.
It's really too bad. Now all the power is on one side, and I expect to see 24 months of total (but subtle) abuse of that power.
