You know, on the whole, I'm a bit disappointed by this election. After the foregone conclusion of four years ago, I was expected a nail-biting, white knuckle ride this time. It was all supposed to be 'down to the wire' as the news kept promising ad nauseum in the buildup; before the results started coming in pundits kept jabbering about the long night ahead of them.
Instead, everything was already settled and Romney had conceded before I got up for work on Wednesday morning (which, bearing my timezone in mind, is only 2:00 am on the east coast). Long night indeed.
And now that Florida's settled, just have a look at the map. One state changed hands. One!
Call that an exciting election? Thank god Real-Dortmund was a good match, or I can't think how Tuesday evening could have been duller.
