Beet's 2008 reaction is an interesting contrast to mine. Of course supporting separate candidates plays a role, I wouldn't be too fond of it ether if Hillary had won...but if she had won the election would be pretty dull and not as exciting as it as. I must ask though why the Palin-filled GE is a negative, it actually boosted the excitingness of it.
But yeah that's one for the history books. In stark contrast to the very boring 2014. I'd actually rather read archives of the 2008 or 2006 forums than read the contemporary midterm election forums.
Election night 2006 was such a blast. Phil's Santorum drama, McCaskill, Tester, and Webb all squeaking by at the last minute. Good times all around. I actually don't think I can name a singe D vs. R matchup for 2014 (I can tell you who's running for re-election and whatnot but I couldn't tell you their opponents). The lack of excitement, drama, urgency, and engaging personalities in US politics is why Update has sort of overtaken it as the focal point of this forum.
