But I can't see what that has to do with The Democracy the US just had! Yeah, I have read that he's the love-child of Giant Man-Eating Avocadoes from the Planet Moonroth. Some of the folks who belong to what are usually called Right-Wing Think-Tanks to which I also belong are all hot and bothered, but most of us on the more Tory side of the House are pretty relaxed. One of our brighter members went to the US early this year, had a squiz and reported back words to the effect of Nothing To Get Hung Up About.
Let's put this into perspective here. Most of us right-wing fascist types (well, actually NO!!! but we're so used to it now so what the hell?) agree pretty much nem con that what we are advised is called the US Health System is an utter disaster. And would be introduced here over our insensate corpses. Could Mr O give them universal health care a la Oz? About as likely as seeing him go cross-country skiing on the Sun. And even if he could pull it off I for one would applaud, because it would be a damn sight better than the formation catastrophe they currently have.
All I would say about Team Red's acceptance of defeat is this. The Incumbent and The Challenger were both gracious and dignified. They would have been massively impressed, as were we all, by Mr O's rhetoric which was, in its better moments, rather self-consciously reminiscent of that well-known pinko Abraham Lincoln. If some shrill bystanders were less than gracious (and they were), all we can say is Look, Team Blue's cheer squad were REALLY less than gracious the last time round!
Senator C: oh dear. We never really know, of course. But there are only 2 options here. Option A is that this is a deliberate piece of cold-blooded cynicism strongly reminiscent of The Last Mob, where of course we know it won't work! We're just pandering, or pretending to pander, to the family values bandwagon. Option B is yes I really am so stupid that I don't know what I'm doing and if I were honest with myself I would hand myself in to the nearest police station.
Personally, I don't know ANYBODY who believes in Socialism

My money, I fear, is on Option A.
