So, Every 4 Years We Vote for the King....

Or so it would seem, the way the Presidential Race eclipses all other races.

But, it's odd....

If a Republican wins, we do indeed get a new King and His Divine Will is immediately felt.

If, however, a Democrat wins, we're told it's actually Congress that rules and that we should have paid more attention to the down-ticket races.

Strange Country.
