So idiots are those who voted for a candidate different than the one you 
liked? You need to grow up. I'll bet you'd be blathering on about "the 
democratic process" and "the will of the people" had your candidate been 
elected. To write off 383,501 people as "idiots" says more about you 
than it does about them.

The three leading contenders were all imperfect choices. Many people 
picked the one they thought was the least imperfect. That doesn't 
necessarily mean people agreed with everything that Ford said but the 
one thing that I think really resonated was "The gravy train stops now." 
It was a catchy slogan, like Miller's broom prop, and like all such 
slogans and props, had a bit of truth running through it even if it 
might be an over-simplification.
