Doris Teresa Wight: A poem for the losing side

Editor?s note: Doris Teresa Wight of Baraboo wrote the following poem decades ago after her pick for president lost. She is a professor emeritus at UW-Baraboo-Sauk County, where she taught creative writing. “I am 83 years old and have survived many an election that went the ?wrong? way for me,” she wrote to the State Journal, “so I trust that half the American electorate in 2012 will appreciate the insights I present.”
