Actually, I've never voted for a winning presidential candidate in my life, so I'm pretty damn accustomed to being on the losing side of the elections. In fact, the first national candidate I ever voted for who actually got into office was Paul Wellstone. That was in 1992, I think. Started voting in the Nixon era. I've been a political independent my whole life, and have never had any affiliation with either party, so I'm thinking I'd have a pretty tough time feeling smug and gloating over any election. There was one thing that cheered me up a bit, and that was the city of Minneapolis approved IRV! Rock on!
