Defeated but Not Down

It’s hard to live up to the promise of live-blogging when there isn’t much good news to report. This is the Democrats’ night. I’ll let them enjoy it. May God give them the grace to govern wisely. Somehow I doubt they will, certainly not from the perspective of life, liberty, and limited government.

At least the vittles are good here at the John Bodnar party in Westminster. I couldn’t bring myself to visit the somber affair down at the Marriott South.

Meanwhile, I’ll go look for the few bright spots of the night. Some big tax increases on the ballot maybe going down. (This tells me the state isn’t lurching Left as much as it’s turning Blue.) Other than that, not much.

Don’t expect to see a lot of politics on this site in the days ahead — the time for introspection will come, though, and this blog will play a role. Meanwhile, I plan to write a series of essays on giving thanks, because living in this nation we truly have much to be thankful for.
