Let’s see, the lawsuits have already started, so the election should be settled sometime around Labor Day. That good for you? 😉

Man, I’m gonna be bummed if my first Dem. vote goes wasted… but:

Too early, folks.

Chill, have a drink, and hope for the best. I have a good feeling.

Listen, Whiney Whinerson, that’s not what I bet on. I have excellent reasons to support Bush – although, had Kerry won, I believe he would have served with honor and distinction. But I support the Patriot Act, I support No Child Left Behind, I believe the actions taken in Iraq were proper, and – most important – I understand that reasonable people may hold different opinions on those topics without being stupid, gullible, or avaricious.

You don’t get that. It’s your way, or no way. That’s blindness, and the results of that blindness are now smacking you in the face.

I voted for Kerry, but I have been nearly certain that Bush was going to win for a long time.

I can say that I am surprised that very few people were able to separate their predictions from their hopes. Time and again the people who supported Kerry were certain Kerry would win. Bush supporters were certain their man would win. From this I can conclude that Dopers would make lousy gamblers.

Exactly.

I am still not certain who is going to win (I still am suspecting Kerry, but who knows), but _whoEVER_ wins—if “my side” doesn’t win—I won’t be calling the “other side” a bunch of nasty names.

It’s just so unseemly.

Yeah, he was, and so was Brooke Shields. OK, he’s a transplanted stupid redneck fucking hillbilly. It’s hard to tell the difference once they get slack-jawed.

I’ll just call the winning side a bunch of names.

I believe in energizing the adversarial relationship between the electorate and the elected. The fuckers.

Pols should always have their feet in the fire.

I have nothing more to say. I think I will pack up and move to some country where I can enjoy my freedom and the leader doesn’t have to drop bombs all over the world to demonstrate his macho cowboy bravado.

Good night.

Bye. You won’t be missed by real Americans, who value the process of democracy over petty partisan concerns.
