The most important part is that there seems to often be one dem hold-out in every clan: And that's our greatest hope that this year is less of a barometer of america, and more of a blip in our history: We're following the first black president with our first woman pres, and that's bringing out some crazy and some ignorant and some bigotry.

But it might also be the growing pains we need to grow the hell up.
