Oh please, stop, my sides hurt from all the laughing. We'll have to let the comedians know about you- if they don't have Gore anymore, at least they'll have Ebill the Exaggerator.

Usually when a presidential race is SO close that they can't call it (oops, did I say USUALLY???? Can you remember the last time that happened?) they don't call it a "sweep". FURTHER the Democrats GAINED seats in both the house and senate- 2 in the house and 3 in the senate. Hmmm, now HOW is that a sweep? Oh right, it is if you want to lie about sweep means. You have learned well at the knees of Clinton. If you don't like the meaning of words, change the meaning! Oh and I forgot the Dems are up by one governor too.

A "sweep" is a clear message from the voters. The clear message from the voters last night was that they didn't like either candidate.

Edit: "It was an overwhelming victory (the meaning of sweep) that we only lost 2 seats in the house and 3 in the senate. What a triumph it was that we are tied in the popular vote! And as for the electoral college- well the fact that we don't know the result clearly demonstrates what a landslide this was for us."
