I Declare the Celebrations Begin! Comeon and Party!
After Obama's win in 2008 there was a scientific study that showed:
Republican men nationwide may have experienced a drop in testosterone levels the night Barack Obama was elected president, according to the results of a small study that found another link between testosterone and men's moods.
By taking multiple saliva samples from 183 young men and women on election night, researchers found that the testosterone levels of men who voted for John McCain or Robert Barr dropped sharply 40 minutes after Obama was announced the winner
Teabaggers are a few leaves short today, I suspect. We, on the other hand, deserve a celebration.

Howard Dean in many ways brought the Democratic Party back to life.

He did this not by creating a rival force to the Democratic Party the way Nader did. He created a force WITHIN the party that led him to the head of the DNC. And under him the Democratic Party, with help from Rahm, Pelosi and Schumer, among others, has prospered. read more »
