I suppose it could be said that being a Democrat is a lot like being a Cubs fan in that the team you root for always loses and will always be doomed to lose but no matter what they do, you still root for them anyways. And sometimes...sometimes... it looks like they've really put a good team together and you get really excited and think this year could be the year and the season starts going and the team looks as good as advertised and then things get going and it's all looking good and then...boom! the team does what they always do, chokes and falls apart and your stuck rooting for a loser yet again.

If being a Democrat is like being a Cubs fan, the election on Tuesday was the equivalent of the Bartman game. Not necessarily because everything all changed due to a fluke occurrence (special election on a weird January date that everybody forgot about, really crappy Democratic candidate, winning candidate appeared in Cosmo), but because of the total choke job that followed the play.

God damnit
