The pendulum swings both directions as past elections has proven. When Clinton got a second term, many shook their heads in disbelief, -except those who voted for him. When W got a second term, many shook their heads in disbelief, -except those who voted for him.

Each side thinks the other has their collective heads buried in the sand come election day. What is unfortunate is when a person, having voted for someone, becomes indefinitely blind to that elected official's faults, and those individuals exist on both sides of the fence.
