It's Over.
The Senate is Republican.
The House is Republican.
The President got a majority of the popular vote.
The President has a clear electoral victory.
At least I think so, but it appears at this late hour a hideous infectious virus that manifests itself by parasitically taking over the bodies of their human hosts to turn them into "Lawyers" has broken into the Democrat party.
Instead of acting like men, the Democrats have decided to act like lawyers. Let's just be clear here, there is no win out there for Kerry to get. At best, Kerry could get a tie, the tie puts it into the House, the House which is a Republican institution will vote Bush to be President. Golly wouldnt that be fun.
Ohio is not Florida. It's not even close enough to get a recount. In 2000 5 states were close enough to require a recount,Florida was just one of them. No state met that requirement this year. Those 'provisional ballots'? Those are not absentee ballots. Provsional ballots are for people who screw up and go to the wrong polling location. You vote, its not counted until they resolve your legitimacy. In a word, all but a small set are crap con jobs.
Lawyers. Dontcha just hate em?
You are correct when you say that my prediction of 381 EV's to Bush didn't pan out. What do I know about elections?, I make databases for a living, I'm not an expert on electoral behavior. It was a guess, and now that weve seen how it all comes out, the smart set didnt do a whole lot better than I did.
It was a great election until the very end. big turnout, no whining about 'voter apathy'. Both sides threw everything they had into it. Very well played, no riots, shenanigans kept to a minimum. A good time was had by all.
The people spoke. They voted for Bush.
I would gladly give the Dems 1000 dollars in cash if Kerry would concede. He wont. The Dems will spend the next 4 years running around spinning lies about this election. Disenfranchisement, illegal votes, anything and everything to take away the legitimacy of this election.
Democracy is not about getting your way, it's about being asked. Everyone who voted yesterday won in this election. I don't think I met anyone yesterday who could vote who didnt go to the polls. That's probably the first time in my life that has ever happened.
It's Over. Let's "Move On" now, shall we?
A NOTE TO MY DEMOCRAT FRIENDS:
