An Election to be grateful for

Coming across this quote made me smile, but when looked upon in the context of this years election, it makes me glad.

"A democracy predicated on the ability to 'throw the rascals out' is far less convincing when it exists only in the abstract than when it is backed up by periodic examples of rascals actually flying through the doors."

-T.J. Pempel, Prof of Political Science at UC Berkley, 1990 (Then at U. Washington)

The result this November will probably be among other things, a testimony to the Democracy of the United States of America.
