Missing the point

It has been "interesting" listening to the post-election commentary. CBS and CNN asked the question "what can we learn from this election" [sic]. Listening to NPR, there was seemingly endless discussion attempting to understand and define "values", as though it was some political trick. Much of the discussion was of the nature of stating that the Republicans did a "better job" of campaigning. Another commentator said "in America, there is another word for faith, it conviction."To me it is clear that many have lost their comprehension of very basic concepts; concepts that most children seem to understand. This contest was not just a matter of who worked the hardest and did the best job campaigning, this was also a judgement call by the people.
