Two Day Story
Relief. George Bush won reelection. There was never a doubt in my mind, but I'm glad that 51% of America knows they made the right descision. I do realize that the election was on Tuesday, and this is now Thursday, but I need sleep, and needed to spend time with the girlfriend. So you're now going to get my thoughts.
First, the Republicans lost every race I worked on (I wasn't high up enough to swing it either way). I am disappointed that Bill Lee will not be the governor of Delaware, and I await an increase in university tuition next year, as well as unsafe prisons and a dwindling enviroment, both natural and business.
This election cycle has seen the rise of JibJab, the fall of conservative democrats, and the humiliation of Dan Rather. The winners here are average Americans, conservative in nature and bloggers, while the big loser is big media.
It is time for healing. I never really liked John Kerry, but I actually admire him for one thing: a quick exit. John Kerry's quick concession, before big media called it. Kerry called for healing, and I'm glad he recognizes the need for Americans to come together under Bush's second term. Bush won a decisive enough victory for anyone to see that he is the rightful President. It seems easy to look to 2008 right now, but the Iraqis are looking to January, and with Arafat seemingly dead, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict now has a bigger question mark after it.
Bush won because Americans trust him in the War On Terror, and agree with him on values. The landscape has changed, Dashle is out, the Dems need to reorganize in Washington, and they need to examine their party. This election was certainly winnable for them, both sides made mistakes, like Kerry should have not married Teresa, not voted for the Iraq war, voted for the $87 billion (after he voted against it), and given back his tax cut. I'm still waiting for Bush to reveal that he's had Osama locked away since June.
To all you Kerry voters out there, you survived 4 years of Bush, and you will survive another 4, and please don't nominate Hillary in '08. She's too cold, and I really don't need Clinton in the White House again. Go take a look at Bill Richardson, and go find some young conservative Democrats, don't give up on that Edwards kid, but he needs some work.
