Amazing! Simply amazing...after all was said and done -- the voice of the people has been heard! Much to the shock and surprise of all those millionaires that were convinced that they could buy this election. The ordinary voters let their voices be heard and their votes counted.
It took long into the early morning of Wednesday -- for the other candidate to concede defeat. He was so sure that he was going to win --that he had not even bothered to write a concession speech. And even though he, as he should, sounded graceful in defeat he still threw in a nasty dig about what a great president he would have been! Sure...he would, he could, etc.
The fact of the matter is, that the people in that other party, are completely out of touch with the realities most ordinary Americans face. Yes, the economy is important -- but so are the social issues, and you cannot separate one from the other. This, I think is what lost the election for the opposition party. They are perceived as caring only for the rich, and in the end -- thanks to Sandy, this point was, almost literally, hammered home to all those that this hurricane hit hard.
Up to the point the hurricane hit, there was uncertainty as to who was going to win the election -- but...after...? There was no doubt in a lot of people's minds, after the hurricane, that they would not elect a guy that said that he would eliminate the agency that handles big disasters like this one. Because, what then? With what money were people going to pay for such a gigantic clean-up.
So at the bitter end, the Africa-American won...in a case of the people showing all the so-called experts, that you should never underestimate the power of people communicating through their own personal networks and voting for the man who they believe really cares about them.
