I think the 2000 Bush Jr. vs. Al Gore election went on and on with the result coming down to disputes about Florida. That might be the best one to compare this one to although it was the Republican who prevailed and not the Democrat former VP.
The media projected Biden earlier today after being too cautious to do so last night (and perhaps it being night there were certain fears?)... so it's traditionally accepted to declare Joe Biden now 'President Elect' of the U.S. His statement the other night, before that call, was centered on healing, uniting, and protecting against threats. Regardless of the 'liking' or 'not liking' business that's grown in fashion I would recognize that he is qualified to do the job. I didn't particularly 'like' Hillary but I felt it was important to recognize her qualifications. I hope they can get back to that sort of common-sense hiring for a job we need done over these other revolutionary sorts of, well name-calling/branding based populist 'things'. I don't think we can afford those luxuries, time to crack on with the jobs that need doing... and most people need and want to go back to work!
