"It's a good night to be a politician," said Todd Akin, an officeholder from Missouri. "The American people have spoken, and they have unanimously declared: 'We want elected officials to lead this nation.'"
Actually, just as I predicted, nobody won. Here in Oregon less than a quarter of the voting age population voted. That means the governor got his job by getting less than an eighth of the population to vote for him.
Seriously, if a guy ran ten blocks in a marathon would you declare him a winner just because nobody else did better?

Actually, you have to wonder about the 75% that would rather trust their taxes, laws, rights and security to the 25% that vote. What a cake walk for the politicians. They only have to appeal to the small percent that are motivated to vote, rather then the entire population!
Maybe that other 75% would rather trust their taxes, laws, rights and security to themselves but couldn't find that option on the ballot.
