The election is finally over, and Barack Obama is the new Commander-in-Chief. Some people are happy about this: in fact, much of New York City was literally dancing in the streets. Others, however, are not nearly as excited--that much was evident if you watched the segment on C-SPAN that allowed viewers to call in and state their opinion on the election results. While Obama voters were thrilled, McCain supporters expressed deep concern for our country's future, citing Obama's lack of experience.

Frankly, I feel for these people. Though personally I disagree with their politics, I can relate to tinglings of dread (circa 2004) that come with complete terror of an elect's judgment. I also recognize that in recent months, there has been no faster way to alienate yourself at a party than to claim your undying loyalty to John McCain. Or admit that you find Sarah Palin to be endearing and a lot like your favorite sister-in-law. These are hardships, my friends, and ones that have gone unrewarded since Obama has won the race. I think we all need to put down our banners, take off our pins, and give one another a hug.

Okay, I almost threw up just typing that. McCain supporters do need to be accepted and comforted. But the better option, as always, is to be cynical and sarcastic about it. My suggestion? Flowers and candy--with a twist.

This, my fellow Americans, is the Sugar-Cain: nine inches of delicious, white chocolate mockery. Note the details: McCain's tight, pinched mouth, furrowed brows, and pendulous neck skin have all been captured in confectionery perfection. Send this to your Republican uncle in Florida to say I love you, I'm here for you, and I was RIGHT--ha ha!

And if you like your chocolate a little darker, sink your teeth into the Chocobama--available in three shades of tasty!

The Chocobama's great therapy for disgruntled elephants. Gnaw on his face and you can't help but feel better.
