Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader will say it once again after hearing Senator Kerry’s concession speech. He is a noble and honourable American. The nation should be proud of him. And he earns a doff of your Maximum Leader’s bejeweled floppy hat.

Your Maximum Leader has been receiving calls today from people happy and unhappy with the outcome of the election. One of them asked your Maximum Leader, after reading this post this morning if there was a moderate midwestern/southern Democrat around whom his party could rally. At first your Maximum Leader couldn’t think of one. But reading this article suddenly caused your Maximum Leader to have an epiphany. Your Maximum Leader realized that to find a popular moderate southern Democrat who appeals to Democrats and Republican’s alike, he needed to look no farther than his beloved Commonwealth of Virginia. His governor in fact. Mark R. Warner of Virginia.

Carry on.
