Election Day has finally arrived. It seems as though this campaign started the day after George Bush was re-elected in 2004. It has been particularly intense for two years, By any measure it has been the longest campaign in many decades, possibly ever. Today it ends.
When we take a step back, we realize it is an amazing process. No shots are fired. There are no riots in the streets. It is a peaceful transition of power. Next week we will see a picture of the incoming President shaking hands with the outgoing President. It will not matter which party wins, they will work together on the transition. The 43rd President will give way to the 44th in January and the republic will march on.
Once again, on Election Day, the true winners are the Founding Fathers. We may have hit some bumps along the way, but they got it right.
