\"sticky-notes-1024x768\"<\/a>This week I found a few extra sticky notes stuck around the edges of my computer desk. Seems they were prompted by Tuesday\u2019s election…<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve heard rumblings of bipartisanship. Where were those calls before the election? <\/em><\/p>\n

CNN, FOX, MSNBC… interesting watching them all. <\/em><\/p>\n

Wasserman Schultz calls Obama Democrats\u2019 \u201cbest asset.\u201d If he was their best asset he would have been seen campaigning with vulnerable candidates. Please don\u2019t lie for rhetorical sakes. Please don\u2019t think we\u2019re ignorant. <\/em><\/p>\n

Obama calls election the \u201cworst possible group of states for Democrats since Dwight Eisenhower.\u201d Noticing a trend… the \u201cworst\u201d… \u201cworst economy.\u201d Wonder if he\u2019ll ask how he\u2019s contributed to the public\u2019s discontent. <\/em><\/p>\n

Wish this would finish soon. I\u2019m getting sleepy.\u00a0<\/em>Need to go to bed. <\/em><\/p>\n

Crist\/Scott or Scott\/Crist… geepers… can they decide which party they actually wish to be from? Charlie Crist has officially represented 3 different parties now. Geeesh.<\/em><\/p>\n

Scott Brown is challenging the New Hampshire results. Ok, I get it. Close election. Congratulations. But accept the outcome. <\/em><\/p>\n

Ed Gillespie… where\u2019d you come from? No one seemed to think your race would even be close. And now… what… a recount in Virginia? <\/em><\/p>\n

All these graphics. Much improved. Could use one of those big interactive computer screens in my family room. <\/em><\/p>\n

How do they call these races with only 7% of the vote in? Oh, my. Doesn\u2019t always make a lot of sense. <\/em><\/p>\n

Obama calling leaders from both parties to the White House on Friday. Could this be a little more regular and all be more considerate? <\/em><\/p>\n

Still need sleep by the way. <\/em><\/p>\n

Pelosi calls the potential results a \u201ccatastrophe.\u201d Get some perspective, please. Go to Africa; see spread of Ebola. Then let\u2019s talk catastrophe. <\/em><\/p>\n

How to win and lose graciously. Seems like we could all learn something there. <\/em><\/p>\n

Facebook. Twitter. (See winning and losing graciously again.) <\/em><\/p>\n

Too much money. Yep. No doubt they could all be better stewards. Why don’t we use all that to pay down the debt?<\/em><\/p>\n

Anti-incumbent? No. More anti-Washington.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

This election is over. Well sort of. Still a run-off. Sorry, Louisiana. <\/em><\/p>\n

Alaska… where are you? <\/em><\/p>\n

No more commercials or robo-calls. Thanks, God. <\/em><\/p>\n

Hope and change. Again. <\/em><\/p>\n

Elections have consequences. <\/em><\/p>\n

Now quit campaigning, quit the disrespect, and get to work. P.S. Some of us also still need sleep now, too.<\/em><\/p>\n

Respectfully…<\/p>\n
