It is over.

But what, if the votes still swing for Kerry and he wins? Unlikely,but probably possible.

Nevertheless: George W. Bush, congratulation to you.


The concession is not legally binding. Should the votes swing to Kerry, he would become the President. Of course, that is highly unlikely.

It's over.

Apparently Edwards wanted to "fight on."

I'm glad to see Kerry maintain his dignity.

Also smart politics

If he dragged the nation through endless recounts and litigation for a hopeless cause, his name would be Mud on the national front

However, by not fighting on he may lose his leadership role for the party faithful.

He did the right thing for the country, so good for him.

I don't see it that way Finn...

In the Nixon / Kennedy election, many of Nixon's supporters wanted him to challenge the election, but he graciously conceded and the people remembered that conduct and later elected him to the Presidency.

As to Edwards pushing to 'fight on', that's probably because he has nothing to lose. (His seat is gone and all he can do is go back home and stew)

I hardly think he will spend much time stewing.....

Presidential Race
President: George Bush (Republican)

Senate split
Republicans: 55
Democrats: 44
Independent: 1

House Split
Republicans: 232
Democrats: 202

If you find yourself wailing and moaning "How could he have won? The Republicans don't represent 'The People' " I ask you to step back and take an objective look at your views and ask if it may be YOU who is 'out of touch' with the true feelings of 'The People'.

Just in: George W. Bush describes Kerry as "gracious" in defeat.

Amen, I was afraid that 2004 would be as bad as 2000.

It is a sad day for half the country and most of the world, and that's a lot of people.

I would imagine that the mental health industry will be gainfully employed for awhile after all of this.

Kerry will make a formal statement at 1900 GMT and Bush is expected to speak at 2000 GMT.

Buncha Dem's gonna admit they've got problems and seek therapy on their own?

Mebbe.


Doubt it though ... recognizing their own failures and shortcomings has not been a notable attribute of The Dems. All over the 'net, on board after board and blog after blog - and with the nastiest of vituperation, they're bewailing "Dirty Tricks" and "The Stupidity of The Electorate" rather than looking internally for the sources of their continued failure to engage The Elecorate.

Yeah, I bet the terrorists aren't too thrilled either. Maybe bin Laden will send Kerry a note of condolence. (Just a joke to lighten things up a bit around here. So please, no kicking me. But feel free to take a dig back)

Perhaps. And yet many millions more around the world would agree with me. Actually, it could be in the billions.

Actually, they may count when it comes to global cooperation against terrorism, increased cooperation within the global economy, and a justified fear of entire economies offically replacing the dollar with the euro and other currencies.

If I were you, I'd be concerned. America cannot survive under it's own economic independence.

But you knew that, right?

A lot of those people are idiots. Like France. Ha. Who cares if France thinks were dumb?
