A bit south of you, looks like Joe L. is going to be pretty lonely,

How the GOP responds is going to be quite interesting. Unfortunately,
many of the moderate voices were thrown out. On the plus side, McCain's
concession speech and his future actions, could go a long way in easing
the divisiveness that has plagued us recently.

It would not surprise me at all to see John McCain shift gears out of
campaign mode and go back to the version that more people respected
and admired. He seriously lost his way during the campaign, but watch
for him to get back to his old self. He'll be right up front in the
senate, stirring the pot, and at least trying his best to help get
things done. He may even turn out to be one of Obama's strongest
cheerleaders on many issues. He may have been too far to the right to
beat Obama, but he was also hurt by being viewed as too far to the
left for many Republicans.

McCain has nothing left to do now politically but bolster his
reputation. If he works closely with Obama on matters where they have
some concurrence, it will help both of them.
