How strange. I was watching CNN Wednesday morning fully expecting the count to stretch on for at least a couple of days. I turned my back for a few seconds and suddenly they have a President Elect.

Man, that was fast!

Then again, that’s what full automation can do. Looks like the Yanks have gone quite a few steps from “Macapagal-Arroyo! Kahon!”. Also, McCain doesn’t seem to be as devious as Bush was when he fleeced Al Gore back in 2000  (I’m sorry. I know it’s ancient history but I don’t think I ever recovered from when the Florida recount was stopped). So there’s really no reason to prolong the agony, at least for the GOP that is.

So no…looks like we will NOT be encountering anything ghoulish and disconcerting. Hopefully not for the next four years.

**Insert sigh of relief here**
