I was depressed already this morning; this audio clip from The Howard Stern Show did not help. His crew did man-in-the-street interviews of Obama supporters. Obviously they had no clue what their candidate stood for.

Ironically, the triumph of Jacksonian Democracy enabled Obama to win. I wonder what the slave-owning Old Hickory thinks about all this.

btw, in case it is not on your screen, be sure to scroll down for Martian Mariner's post-election post. In a double irony, the triumph of Hamilton's economic ideas over Jefferson's enabled this urban triumph.
