As someone who was disappointed last night, I think the "Obama's Last Day" paraphanalia (sp?) is silly and presumptuous. And yes, it is un-creative. However, the Right does not have a monopoly on being un-creative. The primary argument against the Repulican nominee (4 more years of Bush) was decided long before John McCain won the primaries.
I also think that those on the Right who are disappointed should be allowed some time to grieve. Think about how you would have felt had Obama lost. Adjustment to an outcome that one so desparetly did not desire takes longer than 24 hours. McCain supporters are not going to fall in line behind Obama that quickly. He has to earn their trust.
Still, I'm keeping an open--albeit disappointed--mind. I hope more McCain supporters can do the same, and stop thinking up silly slogans to use in 2012.

Those shirts are ridiculous. People are so close-minded.
But enough about that...Obama won!!!! Hooray! I can't wait for him to get in there and prove everyone that doubted him wrong.
