Not exactly the case this election, but if you replace the elephant with Mitt Romney … hmmmmmm.
“Another Such Victory and I’m Undone!” 11/09/1922
From the Clifford Berryman Political Cartoon CollectionThe Republican Party desperately fought to retain control of Congress in the 1922 midterm elections. Although prepared to lose some of their seats, they lost many more than expected and emerged from the election with only a very slim majority in both houses. As the beaten and battered elephant in the cartoon suggests, another attempt to maintain the Republican majority through such a brutal election cycle would likely end in defeat.

Sometimes I wonder if a belief in the afterlife is the comfort for a life spent in perpetual procrastination … to see is better than to hope/plan/expect to see; to love is so much more fulfilling than to hope/plan/expect to love. Great lessons from a great man and his erudite spouse.
“For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.” - Carl Sagan
How fortunate we are, in the vastness of space and time, to experience such love.
Just spent a white-knuckle election night annoying people on Facebook. Now, to sleep, perchance to dream, of all the promises made and how we all might ask what we can do to make our nation a better place.
