The November 15 issue "How He Did It" (on newsstands Thursday, November 4) includes an exclusive behind-the-scenes account of the entire presidential campaign reported by a separate Newsweek Special Project team that worked for more than a year on the extraordinary campaign. Highlights from the report:

#5  Yes, Jawn. You did lose to the "idiot". Is it hard to now have a self image that says "I am a total pathetic loser" or do you just get used to it?
P.S.: I'll bet Taraaaaysa's really fun to be around these days, isn't she...

#4  I have heard many calls for being gracious winners and returning to civility.

Ain't that just a knee-slapper? Everybody else needs to be gracious and civil, and the tactics and actions of bile-spewing, hate-mongering leftists doesn't even deserve a mention. Had the election turned out the other way around, it's beyond certainty that the likes of Kos, Atrios, Alterman, et al and their followers would be rubbing it in big time.

#3  If you want to see this attitude in spades, check out Jane Smiley's article in Slate today link. Wretchard administers a bit of a slap-down to her, pretty much as Lileks does to the Noo Yawkuhs that the NYT interviewed yesterday.

#2  Kerry's attitude is typical of the liberal 'elite'. They think that we are all stupid because we will not bow to their pronouncements. The canard that we "do not think for ourselves" really means that we will not let our betters in the MSM and the universities manipulate us and tell us what to think.

I have heard many calls for being gracious winners and returning to civility. I will consider it when the LLL realizes that they have to deal with opposing arguments on their merits. Until that happens, we should take no prisoners.

#1  I'm getting a copy of this one. And there Senator was your problem. You failed to respect your opponent. It may not have occured to you that many didn't like your trashing of the President (whether by you or your supporters) which in turn was an attack on our troops. That we may like to run things our own way and we like lower taxes and less government. That character and values do matter of which you Senator are lacking. That we don't believe what the big city newspapers tell us and your other supporters in the MSM.
It may be almost impossible for you to come to grips with this because I truly believe you don't have a clue.
