&lt;p&gt;It's been interesting to listen to Repubs complain about Obama's &amp;quot;fans&amp;quot;. (In politics they're called &amp;quot;voters&amp;quot;.) &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To look at it another way; if &amp;quot;fans&amp;quot; are worth complaining about, &amp;nbsp;John &amp;quot;George&amp;quot; (thank you Joe Biden) McCain has little to complain about.&lt;/p&gt;

Not everything is about the media. &amp;nbsp;Thank God you and the other pseudojournalists have created web pages and blogs so that those of us who couldn't attend are able to participate just as much as you are. &amp;nbsp;There are very few credible reporters left in the profession. &amp;nbsp;Yours will have as much credibility after this election as other discredited professions. &amp;nbsp;This election is about the voters, the electorate, the constintuency of the United States, which has been battered and thrown down the drain by the Bush-Cheney-McCain machine. &amp;nbsp;So get over yourself and let us celebrate. &amp;nbsp;It's our turn (finally!!!)&lt;/p&gt;

Whoa, Romano, a freudian slip? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WIKIPEDIA:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Internets&amp;quot; is a Bushism-turned-catch phrase used humorously to portray the speaker as ignorant about the Internet or about technology in generaL&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Either you are in desperate need of a decent meal and a good night's sleep, or - ugh - you are trying to subliminally convince us that Bush is ok and &amp;quot;internets&amp;quot; is a correct term. &lt;/p&gt;
