John Hodgman sums it up for you
John Hodgman - Poker-faced, bespeckled writer. A.K.A. the PC guy and The Daily Show's "Resident Expert", just appeared on the Rachel Maddow Show. He summed up this campaign in the most accurate few words I've heard so far:

"A referendum on reality."

Well played, John. Well played.

1. I applauded at that line!
Hopefully "truthiness" is going to take a back seat for the coming years.

2. I liked what he said about conspiracy theories by Republicans
They always use them in campaigns, but this time the guys on the ticket are making it the centerpiece of their campaign. Its amazing.

3. I still remember him..
..when he did those "Tip for Success" segment on The Daily Show. That was pure genius.

4. It was the first time me and my son have laughed together at something political
in awhile. He is 17 and Republican. Thank You John, for that.
