I feel your wife's (and your) pain on this one, but I think allowing it to fuel depression and a lack of ml is completely unnacceptable. I am the vice-chair of the GOP in our county and an election day attorney. I was working from 6:30 AM until 3 AM the next day on the election, so if anyone would have justification to feel some depression about the results, it would be me (and many others who were "fighting the fight"), but that would be the wrong response. There were many reasons we lost the Presidential race and I am not going to list them here (I try to keep the SSM boards a politics free sanctuary as much as possible) but the way to respond is not by wallowing in misery and escaping into talk radio, it is by becoming even more involved in fighting for what you believe in. Your wife should join your local party (ours is only $10/year) and start becoming active in local races. This is how you really affect change and is a productive way to channel energy.
FYI, my wife loves talk radio as well, but has moved beyond Rush because Rush's main concern for a while now has been Rush, Inc. and is not what it used to be. My wife has Sirius and both of us have been listening a lot to "Afternoon Advice with Tiffany Granath" which is talk radio about sex and relationships. It hasn't affected our SL yet, but I can tell it is opening her up mentally. I don't want to hijack your thread, so I will post about that on mine at some point.
