Christopher Beam's article today poses the usual rhetorical Slate subheadline question, a mix of whodunnit and political intrigue: "What happened to all of those democrats for McCain?"The answer? Nothing, basically. Retain political capital, blah blah blah, though if you depended on Democratic party patronage (read: lackeys), then you are pretty much f'ed.
(Although, honestly, who cares who Orson Scott Card endorsed? His books are capital 'K' crazy.)
Far more interesting, at least to me, is what would have happened to all of those democrats for McCain, had McCain won?
The answer? Awesome things (at least for them).
So in the end, really a no-brainer. Unless the "I told you so" is really worth a potentially plum, juicy patronage job.
(Speaking of which, why all fruit metaphors to describe sweet, delicious victory? The fruits of labor, &c.)
