The day after, the crowd will of course discover its own fissures. The affluent will have to pay for the programs promised the poor. The redistribution agenda that runs through Mr. Obama's vision is anathema to the Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and the hedge-fund managers now smitten with him. Their ethos is one of competition and the justice of the rewards that come with risk and effort. All this is shelved, as the devotees sustain the candidacy of a man whose public career has been a steady advocacy of reining in the market and organizing those who believe in entitlement and redistribution.
The morning after the election, the disappointment will begin to settle upon the Obama crowd. Defeat — by now unthinkable to the devotees — will bring heartbreak. Victory will steadily deliver the sobering verdict that our troubles won't be solved by a leader's magic.

And so begins the voter's remorse. Soon, bumper stickers will abound that say: "Don't Blame Me, I voted for Mac and Sarah."
You know, all this emphasis on "feelings" of idiots is causing me to lose patience. Here's a question: how will these idiots feel when their heads are being removed from their shoulders with rusty knives, to the cries of Allahu Akhbar?
When government schools go into the business of manufacturing third-rate minds--after a period of several decades--elections like this naturally tend to happen.
Odd occurrence at the house across from the me this morning. The owner took down her Obama sign.
This alacrity is unusual. Whether her endorsed candidate wins or loses, my neighbor typically leaves campaign signs up for weeks following an election.
IMO, disappointment in an Obama administration will set in fairly soon, though I note that the WaPo, for one, has already starting to prepare readers that immediate change will not be happening. I somehow doubt that Obama-maniacs ever thought that change would, of necessity, be gradual.
I noticed several of my Obama-fan friends were "over it" already. It's like it was a kind of passionate knee-jerk reaction to all the well-publicized "mistakes" the Bush administration has made, and all the anger was expunged in Obama's victory and now...
Now what?
Nothing. It's over. They now go back to being their cynical selves, having had their tizzy fit and gotten it out of their system.
Weird.
