I think it's a toss up right now, with a slight slant in Bush's favor. This is gonna take a while- not all the absentee ballots have been counted, and I'm sure thre DNC will raise questions about those malfunctioning machines in florida.
I'm betting the whole thing will hinge on Ohio. Bush is probably gonna get Iowa, and maybe even New Mexico (last i've seen it was pretty close there.) It doesn't look so good right now, but let's wait till they actually count all the votes...

Yup, it certainly looks that way. Oh well...my prediction was that a slight majority of the populace was going to favor Kerry while the electoral count would be a toss up. Guess I was wrong; a majority of Americans DO favor arrogant bullshit. Chalk this up to the GOP attack machine I suppose, and all the Nascar Dads et al that eat that propaganda hook, line, and sinker.

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

A vocal minority with 49% of the vote. Not exactly your typical 'vocal minority' each side loves to complain about the other having.

I never would have thought Kerry would concede without putting up a fight. Oh well, maybe we can impeach Bush in a year or two.

We should note that for Clinton the reason he didn't get a majority was because of the presence of Perot. This is different from George W. Bush first time around, where he didn't get a majority just because he didn't get a majority.

The us economy matter a great deal to me. The dollar has gone from 11 Swedish 'crowns' down to almost 7. Since I freelance as an illustrator (with mainly American clients) that means I've lost about 30% of my income due to the dollar drop.
It might be a Post Hoc fallacy to blame Bush though.
