| It's hard to say. The way I feel about things is that it seems to have nothing at all to do with policies and everything about throwing your weight behind one party and believing all sorts of ridiculous smears about the other. |

So you're voting for the muslim guy? That's pretty un-American isn't it?

I always thought this quiz here gave a better indicator of where people stand than the overly simplistic "left/right" or "liberal/conservative" one-dimensional model of political leanings. |

Well Larry David was obviously paranoid.
I saw this on an Aussie blog this morning:
What I haven�t yet seen
John McCain is beaten, and this is what I haven�t yet seen or heard:
Screams that the vote was rigged.
Lawyers taking the result to court.
The loser blaming anyone but himself.
Angry celebrities vowing to move overseas.
Stickers claiming the winner stole the election.
Furious reporters denouncing ads by the losers� critics.
Furious reporters blaming the winner�s evil genius.
The bitter losers warning the country �is more divided than ever�.
Graceful losers in a democracy need to be acknowledged just as much as graceful winners, if not more. At the very least, it may help to ensure the example catches on. |

Perhaps that's because nobody believes it was rigged. It could be hard to rig a 7 million vote majority. The decisive result appears beyond question.quote:

See above.quote:

True, Kerry should have blamed himself. But, Al Gore was not the loser, he was the winner (he got more votes than Bush). I didn't hear Bush blame himself for getting less votes than Al Gore either.quote:

I'd guess they like the result then. quote:
Stickers claiming the winner stole the election.
See first point above.quote:

That remains to be seen. I'm sure the assassination plans are already being drawn up somewhere.quote:

I've seen nothing but global praise for McCain's concession. Perhaps the writer of this blog should take a leaf from his book. |

One thing that struck me when the results were coming in was that several commentators on Fox were talking about the "statistical bias" that exit polls always show towards the Democrats for "various reasons that we haven't got time to go into here".
I'd love to know why, historically, the results haven't matched the polls, although I get a feeling that, magically, they were a lot more accurate this time round. |
