Via an e-mail I received today, from a former coworker in Cincinnati (in the key state of Ohio): Now that a W victory looks imminent, and both houses of the Congress are in GOP hands, I expect to get what I was promised. There are absolutely no excuses now. We have a historic chance to [...]

Well, it’s bad. No other way to put it. The unthinkable has happened, and then it got worse. Not only did they elect the Chimp-in-Chief, and with a solid popular-vote margin, but the Republicans extended their majorities in both House and Senate (55 – 44 – 1 in the Senate: that really hurts).
