A lot of people worked hard for this recall. Your comment is unnecessarily cruel. They will just have to redouble their efforts for November. We all will.

I don't doubt people will redouble their efforts. But this is a loss that is going to be a harbringer of what is to come. The GOP needs just four Senate seats to make sure Obama is a lame duck, and they have a compliant media and unimaginable sums of money to make sure they get what they want, every time.

Work if you like, and good luck in doing so. But honestly, I think you might be better to spend your energy looking to emigrate. Canada will still allow you to come.
