Couldn't think of anything particularly trenchant to say about the national election; as far as I could tell, the results pretty much reflected the polls. Therefore, I'll just link an earlier post of mine that has become more poignant in the months leading up to the election of Obama.
On a more encouraging note, most of the things I was really concerned about in this election went OK. The Illinois Constitutional Convention referendum went down in flames, and the Champaign County sales tax increase was narrowly defeated. Unfortunately, our township referenda to ban industrial development were approved by fairly narrow margins, but the good news is that they're advisory only.
