Only four years until 2008!
I've been taking it easy since Tuesday as far as blogging is concerned. Part of it is not wanting to gloat; as obnoxious as the Left has been over the past four years, they're in pain right now, and it seems only Christian charity to take the advice Mom used to give: "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Then, too, it's nice to be able to sit back and enjoy victory, secure in the knowledge that the Good Guys will be running things for another four years.
My wife will be flying out from Iowa and we'll be attending the inauguration, just like we did the one four years ago. It's funny the way George W. Bush has been such a recurring theme in our marriage.
Lots of speculation continues about the second term. It seems that Rudy Giuliani doesn't want John Ashcroft's job. It'll be interesting seeing who the new Attorney General and Secretary of State turn out to be. Something worth bearing in mind, BTW: with Dick Cheney and Jeb Bush out of the running for 2008, John McCain facing age issues, Giuliani, Ahnold (who couldn't serve anyway, constitutionally, having been born in Austria) and George Pataki probably all too socially liberal to win the nomination, and no with single conservative alternative emerging from among Bill Frist, Bob Ehrlich, George Allen, and the others who have been discussed, the right person could become President Bush's heir apparent in the job of Secretary of State or even Attorney General. Maybe those of us who have fantasized about Condi Rice in the White House might get our wish.
Mitt Romney might be a good choice, if he got his head on straight about abortion- and he's shown signs that he might be doing just that. I imagine things will sort themselves out naturally as the second term progresses. By the mid-term election, the campaign for the 2008 election will be on in earnest. But for now, I'm just glad the right guy won this time.
Meanwhile, Blogs for Bush will become "GOPBloggers" on inauguration day. Good. It would be a real shame to lose a network like the one Matt Margolis and the others have built. My hat is off to Matt for a truly remarkable achievement in constructing a network of 1.375 blogs in a single year- and quality blogs at that- that collectively played a major role in this campaign, and have become a major force in the political blogosphere.
Long may we waive!
