The only sadness appears in the blind Republican faithful who continue to send the most disgusting people to government positions expecting different results.  The primary campaign consisted of a host of wannabes trying to be as disgusting as Don Young.  The winner reflects the most disgusting one of all extolling the virtues of all that the Republican party shows to be its basic tenets of anti-government, anti-human rights, christian fundamentalism over freedom, misogyny toward women, free-market criminality based in abject greed, one of the deadly sins of their preferred religion.  Those voting Republican reflect the basic "values" of their leaders.  Nice to see you are so happy to wallow in that cesspool of false dogma.
