Couple of positive things

Bush cannot be re-elected.

The margin of victory is so small that nobody can honestly say this was a good thing. A win, yes, but hardly anything even remotely overwhelming in the numbers. It was incredibly close and there are *still* votes left to be counted as well as challenges to be made.

Nothing that happens now can ever be blamed on Dems and I think most folks know this.

They ran with a Supreme Court decision in 2000 as if it were a mandate. Do you really think they won't do the same thing now, and the lapdog media will do anything but praise them for it?

Our only hope is that what sane people are left in the GOP will start caucusing with more conservative Dems and at least slow down the infringements on our rights. That's pretty sad, but that's how I see it.

is Bush's legacy will be stuck with Iraq rather than it becoming a stain for Kerry.....

Congratulations to Tuesday's winner, whoever he may be. You get to be president for the next four years. Bigger congratulations to the loser: At least you don't have to be president for the next four years. Seen as part of a strategy for your party's victory in 2008, your decision to lose yesterday's election may have been a brilliant stroke.

For all the talk about the fundamental disagreements between this year's candidates, there are important issues on which both talked nonsense or neither talked much at all. But in the next four years they will be unavoidable. Mr. President, or Mr. President-elect: You can run but you can't hide.

Iraq: You say you didn't hear a real plan from either candidate to calm Iraq and get U.S. troops out? That's partly because every step depends on the success of a previous step. If the insurgents are pushed back enough for the elections to be credible, it's possible that more nations will be willing to step in. But if the United Nations holds back, Muslim nations won't send troops, a necessity for successful peacekeeping. The ifs, compounded, make for odds no president could like.

The deficit: Both President Bush and Sen. John F. Kerry declared, on tenuous evidence, that they could halve federal deficits by 2008. What they glossed over was that current deficits are nothing compared with financing the future of Medicare and Medicaid, and to a lesser extent Social Security. The longer the next president waits to tell the truth, the worse the eventual pain will be.

More good news: The Retard will be on vacation 40+% of the time (probably more since he won't be running for re-election).

3.5 million votes more. Look at what he did when he lost, imagine now that he won.
