Jenny Sanford: "WTF???"
Mark Sanford has won in South Carolina—by nine points, no less. He stole from his constituents and absconded to a foreign country to conduct an affair, and yet all he had to do was praise Jesus and they took him back.
South Carolina, you are stupid. If you're from South Carolina and are smart, you should not be offended by this generalization because I am rounding up.

Dr. Who's first-EVER TV Guide cover:
Miz Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) has proclaimed that Don't Ask, Don't Tell is "not going anywhere" in the lame-duck session because all the Republicans will oppose its repeal in lockstep and besides all that he wants to see a study asking the rank-and-file if the policy should be repealed, not how to deal with its repeal.
You know, I don't recall DADT applying to the Senate, so can't any of you understandably shame-faced queens who've had sex with this monstrosity break your silence and put Lindsey out of the closet since he won't come out of it willingly? (And don't tell me he's on a personal journey and isn't ready yet.)
More election thoughts and observations:
It still sucks this morning...I was thinking of calling in Democratic!
Democrats should be proud of what they accomplished in the past two years. Those who are not proud were either defeated or should be. Stuff got done—big stuff. Americans don't hate Democrats. Americans don't love Republicans. They dislike them both equally, or dislike Democrats a tad less. But voters are fucking pissed off at the economy and at waiting around for their lives to improve. And they hate the idea of a deficit to the point that they blindly don't realize the stimulus helped stave off a second Great Depression. That's all hard to address (for both parties, actually), but it's easier to address than, say, being hated.
Obama's presser today will be historic. I hope in the good or at least not bad way. If I were him, I would sound a conciliatory note (no baseball bats—see below) yet I would draw some progressive lines in the sand. His only hope for re-election rides on re-engaging the left (the youth vote had better things to do last night and the black vote was somewhat depressed) because going even more centrist (he's already more in the middle than Malcolm) is not going to win him even one right-winger's vote. The Blue Dog Democrats were CRUSHED last night—so he shouldn't become one. His differences with Bill Clinton—the last Democratic prez in this position at this point in a presidency—may be skin-deep, but that's plenty deep enough for the teabaggers. Trust. Of course, this presumes Obama is his party's nominee in '12, a provision that had to be made regarding Reagan and Clinton before him at the same points in their presidencies, but one that nonetheless needs to be made here again.
