[Sazar]

yup... looks like 4 more years of the "same"

kerry needs a miracle a la the bo'sox to win now... ohio might take up to 10 days to get all provisional votes counted...

btw... it looks like mc Cain is not gonna be president

 

[FishBoy]

im guessing this is just a game for bush he just wants to win again and make wars

 

[Xie]

If it goes the way it looks I guess we get what we deserve. I just hope all those voting for Bush learn there lesson by the next election and there is a US left for the next President.

 

[Perris Calderon]

they won't...there was lesson enough in this administrations record of performance.

they voted party regardless

Kerry gave in , he has called President bush to conced .. Four more years, I am very happy for the turn out ... There is talk about a law suit in Ohio but I don't think that will happen. There is to much of a margin ...

Now in 2008 when Hillary Clinton runs we can go through this all again ..

It's funny that people think that if Kerry won, the world will be a better place to live, babies will smile, the sun will be brighter, the birds will sing, and everything will be alright. tsk tsk.

EDIT: grammar mistakes, and I must have been drunk

 

[Johnny]

It is official - BUSH has won. He just got Nevada ...

• Bush - 274
  Kerry - 242

I will not blast Kerry, and I will not spout. I will only say that the American people have spoken and they made the right decision. They chose the right man for the job ... I am proud to see the number of people who turned out for this election. It was the largest turn out in US history ...

I am especially happy to see that the Replublic party will control the House and Senate as well. This is the first we had a Republican President with Republicans control both the house and senate since 1900 ..

It's funny that people thank that if Kerry won, the world will be a better place to live, the babies will smile, the sun will be bright, the birds will sing, and everything will be alright. tsk tsk.

I'd rather have seen Kerry win for the simple fact that GWB + his administration would be out. They're still in though... everyone buckle up, it's about to get even bumpier.

Exactly what I'm talking about. A lot of people think that there will be radical changes (for the better) if Kerry did win. Would the ride be any smoother with Kerry?

Thank god it's over. Now perhaps we'll have some proper news on the news! Been banging on about this for weeks now, I swear they cover the american elections more over here then they do ours! But then again nobody in the UK cares too much about British politics!

I never thought I'd wake up on Nov. 3rd and see Bush still in office. I'm shocked to see that Bush did better this election than he did the last election with a large win in the popular vote, compared to losing it in the last election. I'm even more shocked to see that all the Exit polls leaked to the media all said that Kerry was going to walk away with the presidency to have it all debunked when the votes mattered. Also the Republicans have gained even more strength in the House and in the Senate to give them more power. I'd have to say the thing that I most excited about is the fact that Tom Daschle lost his election bid in South Dakota and hopefully we will never have to see his face again.

I'm very shocked about what transpired in the past 24-30 hours and I can't believe Kerry's very weak performance. This was an election that should have been an easy win for the Democrats but they built up the wrong guy and put up a weak candidate.

The best quote I've heard today is "Strong and Wrong will beat Weak and Right"

I don't think Bush is wrong and I don't think Kerry is right but had Kerry acted and been perceived as stronger he might have had a chance...kind of looked like a wet noodle through this whole campaign

My dislike for Kerry is no surprise to anyone here, but I'll give credit where it's due, he did gain a little, tiny, minute piece of my respect with the way he handled the concession. Very well done. I do believe that if the Dems put up a less controversial candidate they could have taken the Election.

 

[the_music_man]

thanks ohio and nevada for choosing the worst candidate in the world! seriously. eff this yo, i want kerry . lol

 

[rotjong]

The following statistics say it all, IMO.

Democrats cast their votes for:

Kerry: 89%
Bush: 11%
Nader: 0%

Republicans cast their votes for:

Bush: 93%
Kerry: 6%
Nader: 0%

Some people complain about the old voting by party lines stuff. Well, the Democrats can only blame themselves. Nader didn't hurt them... they hurt themselves. There is a 5% larger difference between the number of Democrats that voted outside their party. This shows to me that even Democrats found Kerry to be a weak choice for the Democratic party.

Hopefully in 2008 the Democrats put up a stronger and worthy candidate. I am hoping that McCain will run again in 2008 as a Republican or Independent.

The only problem was too little too late, but I too commend him 100% for the respect he laid out in the concession

 

[Shade2074]

it seems he didn't even have to worry about reelection his first four years...that a man can do to Amerca what he did, and yet get reelected...it is dumbfounding

I retire for the night\\g'night everybody

god bless

I couldn't agree more...
