Tuesday's election brought down the final curtain not only on a grueling, two-year presidential campaign, but also on a noisy season of political advertising -- one that included radio and television spots, internet banners, robocalls, a half-hour primetime infomercial, and an endless torrent of attack ads.

Think we're done with all that for a few years? Not by a long shot. After all, negative advertising is a hard habit to break, especially for our friends in the GOP.

Public Option Back on the Chopping Block
Adding to the problem of scared Dems is the Dems who insist upon being catered to. Lieberman has now been joined by Ben Nelson.

What has this guy been doing the past 4 days?

I mean, by this point the Republicans would already have had a few new wars going and the rendition planes warmed up.

I can't believe that anybody can't see immediately that this is a joke.

Pretty clever, too. Thanks for the laugh!

...but there's a bunch of yahoo's out there that are lobbying for an Obama national holiday already!

I voted for the guy, but a national holiday? Give me a break!

I hope I'm wrong, but if this kind of crap keeps up, there's gonna be a whole lot of people out there really disappointed in a year or two when they discover he had to be a centrist to get anything done in D.C.

Give the guy a chance, but don't ever think he's some sort of Messiah!
