I

wasn’t going to write about the election at all this week. Not mind you for lack of things to say (but then you knew that). It’s just that it’s not the right time to write certain things; perhaps later but not now. But as the saying goes liftor b’velo klum i efshar to pass over last week’s events in total silence is impossible. And so here goes…

First to sum up what has transpired I quote National Review editor Rich Lowry adding only one sentence of my own:

It is simply one of the most extraordinary events in American electoral history for someone to come out of nowhere with no political experience with little or none of the usual elements of a political operation with a couple of the worst weeks in a general-election campaign in memory with almost all the national polls against him at the end to win the presidency… On this night even those of us who were skeptics have to tip their hats. What an achievement.

Yes Eibeshter there really is none like You.
