Demographics are important, but the fact they elected Bob McDonnell (yes, I know...off-year election turn-out) doesn't fill me with hope.

Sometimes when Wonkette is really busy on just one blog with a couple of hundred comments I go on and it looks completely different and all the avatars are different and it's really, really hard to post.

Joe Kennedy's death in WWII forced his dad to push Jack toward the Presidency and he acquitted himself pretty well. Jeb was the family choice for the Oval Office but his damaged brother managed to get it instead. Eight years of 'gut feeling/instructions from God' administration not only ruined a lot of global life but will keep the Bush family out of politics for a long, long time. And the price we paid isn't worth it considering we got the worst of the litter.
