LixyChick,

It won't last forever, even if, at times, it may seem so.

I admit I'm no political expert, but I just read a news article stating that Kerry isn't willing to concede yet. I didn't think Bush could officially declare a victory before Kerry's concession... or maybe that's just a bunch of polite tradition?

It is just a political tradition for the winner to wait for a concession speech Maddy.

Isn't Australia the edge of the earth or is it New Zealand?

Here we go again! Arggggggggggggg - I am with ya Lixy!

I don't think Kerry should concede. I think that all votes should be counted and until those results are finalized should anyone concede. I think the Bush camp needs to be patient about that rather than urging Kerry to give up seeing how they are so confident that they won.

Currently there are four states still out - not just Ohio and Iowa being one of them. Granted 7 electorial votes vs. 20 is a no brainer, but ALL VOTES SHOULD BE COUNTED!!!!

(Gonna build a bigger soapbox)

It was/is a close race. I only hope that as a nation common ground is found and that issues and policies are developed for the better of all.

I'm glad that it looks like Bush won. Yesterday I wasn't feeling hopeful with so many going out to vote but it looks like the country has spoken their mind and change is not what the majority is wanting at this time.

I also hope we can all come together for the good of the country now and that everyone will support the President.

What worries me is not so much that Bush won the election-I was pretty much looking a Tweedledum and Tweedledee. But that the Republicans have control of the house, the senate, and the white house. And hence, are set to extend their control over the judiciary.
Good-bye, what few civil rights the US public has left to it.



Well, I wouldn't mind helping you do that.

I voted my piece, but I know what you mean. I want to slap my fellow Ohioans upside the head.

But then again....we also voted for the constitutional amendment (in OH) to ban gay marriage.....which shows our judgement is faulty. <sigh>

The Constitution should be about *protecting* rights, not taking them away!

amazingly enough, I just got home from my day at 10:30p and have emails from some liberal friends who are still convinced the election isn't over and that it was all a fraud. but on the flip side, i'm pleased with the result and only hope that much productivity is accomplished in the next four years.

When GW saw the division in the country and realized the amount of support JK got, he complimented Kerry on his spirited effort and said he hoped the country could come together and get behind his administration. I'm afraid now because, again, I don't think the prez understands what the divided part of this country has said in showing our support for JK. He only sees that he has many supporters and so he thinks that ALL he does is right. The moment he sincerely admits his mistakes and takes measures to rectify them is the moment I get behind the next four years. Till then, be it apathy or something else, I have no faith in GW and I cannot support him in any way, shape or form. When that changes, I'll let ya know!

P.S. That does NOT mean I do not support our troops and wish them well and hope for an end to this nonsensical war!!!! I DO support them and I fear for them as well!
