10 degrees
1 inch snow on ground
Watching the dust settled after Election Day, I wasn't surprised by the outcome, and was generally pleased. The candidate we supported for governor only got 10% of the vote but he was running as an independent and we didn't really expect him to win. (We just couldn't bring ourseles to vote for the major party candidates. We do enjoy being contrary...)
The best news of the day, of course, was that Donald Rumsfeld will be replaced as Secretary of Defense. It's ironic that had the President made the announcement before the election, he may have stemmed some of the negativity against his party, but it's obvious that the only reason the change is being made because of the outcome of the election. His inflexibility, his inabilty to admit making mistakes is one thing that continues to cripple this president. Pig-headedness shouldn't be confused with resolve.
But the American people have had their say. We shall see how much changes.
