<p>I was so proud of Kerry for coming out as a unifying force and not dragging the election out (as he could have done easily). It shows that America’s best interests are important to him–it would not have been good for us to have another 11 days of limbo, and he knew the OH margin was “insurmountable”. Good man, that Sen. Kerry. =)</p>
<p>I’m still skeptical about the Reps and Dems being a “happy family” in congress. I would love it if that happened, or if they even came together somewhat…but I don’t see how it’s possible, given the super-polarized climate on Capitol Hill.</p>
<p>Remember guys: even though states like connecticut and illinois and wisconsin and florida and texas all look completely blue or red on those MSNBC maps, that doesn’t mean the votes were 100% for that candidate. don’t blame it on Ohio–heck, the popular vote was pretty stricking: 3.5 million more for Bush. Even in my home state of Connecticut, my parents voted Bush and my home town voted in a razor thin margin for Kerry. It’s not as if it’s the rural states that are deciding…people in the Northeast support Bush too. I hate these stereotypes. (And people in Texas and Florida and Ohio support Kerry)</p>
