Whatever I might think of the actual result; this last election at least showed some positive signs for democratic life in the US of A.
1. Best voter turnout since 1960 (it's been falling since then).
2. The President actually won the popular vote (so the Electoral College effect was irrelevant to the result).
Bush is the most genuinely elected president the US has had in decades.
