Revenge of the Valley Trash: Republican Sarah Palin wins Alaska Governor's race! This is a great win for the Matanuska-Susitna Valley folks, who had been famously derided by state senator Ben Stevens (son of Senator Ted) as "valley trash". You could see her as conservative candidate for US Senate in eight years if she is successful as governor.

To me, thats nothing but spin. Lets call a SPADE A SPADE, El Quiada and the Democrats WON THIS ELECTION. My hats off to the terrorists, they played the democratic voters like a piano. This war on Terror is now LOST IMHO, now all thats left is to SAVE OUR OWN BEHINDS. Goodbye, Iraq, Goodbye Middle East, Goodbye Pakistan, in 5 years Goodbye France, Goodbye Spain and maybe Goodbye Great Britian. All thats left now is to go to BUCHANON POLITICS and build FORTRESS AMERICA. The USA is no longer that shining beacon on the hill. jdn

I agree with a lot of that post, but I'd hardly call it a golden moment. Its great if you can handle defeat with integrity, honor, calmness, and a determination to take the right steps to do better next time; but its still a defeat. Best case scenario this could lead to a golden moment. If Republicans handle the loss in the best way, and make the right changes, and then eventually win again and then resist becoming the "bloated, earmarking, tone-deaf toads" that some of them where. But we aren't at that moment and there is no certainty that we will be any time soon.
