Hi danbrusca!
From previous posts you seem to be very reflected when it comes to political issues and such - have you any idea why Bush is winning? Is it some kind of protest against the rest of the world having the nerve to tell them who to vote for president? Do you think that is a factor at all, if you get my drift here?

No, I'm British, not American :)
For what it's worth, I don't see Bush's win as being the result of a protest at all. I don't think that the kind of people who voted for Bush give a damn what the rest of the world thinks of them.
I think it has to come down to the security/terrorism/war/fear issue, combined with a hefty dose of religious evangelism. Take an enemy, blow the threat from that enemy out of all proportion to reality, wrap it in the flag and claim that god is on your side. It appeals to people's fear, patriotism and religiosity, a powerful yet simplistic combination.
I'm somewhat surprised and disappointed that so many Americans have bought into it though. The world is a much darker place this morning and it's not going to get brighter for at least another 4 years.

Good point! I fear that in four years the key word will be "irreversible" - and Bush will be given a third period behind the wheel.... ANGST!
Some people think Bush will be slightly more moderate over the next four years - I don't!

I can't believe it looks like Bush is going to get a second term as President. It's fucking ridiculous and makes America look like a fucking moronic country.
Why don't the CIA do a Kennedy on the cunt and take him in an open top car through Dallas.....
The world would be a happier place.

Are you guys actually surprised? I saw this coming a mile away. I think Kerry did a poor job campaigning. He focused too much on his Vietnam crap and contadicted himself too much.
Just right there i knew he wasnt winning.

yeah, it went about how i thought it would. it's just a jagged pill to swallow.
kerry was a really weak candidate. it was never really about him at all. i knew of very few people who were actually enthusiastic about him, even they ones that were sure they would vote for him. this was an election about bush vs. not-bush.

Which makes it all the more tragic that Bush believes he's doing the work of that particular imaginary being.

I watched the whole thing through the night and I wasn't surprised.
but at about 8 o'clock in the morning I did suddenly kind of scream out "HOW STUPID CAN YOU FUCKING BE!!??"

So is the general consensus that Bush is going to take this election? Right now it looks like it could go either way, mathematically, but it sounds like a lot of people are conceding defeat. I haven't really been paying watching CNN or anything, so update me.

I screamed something similar when listening to a phone in on the radio this morning. Arnie pushed me over the edge when I heard a soundbite of him saying that by voting for Bush people were voting for fiscal responsibility. Made me wonder if I had woken up in an alternate reality where Bush hadn't turned a budgetary surplus into a record deficit.
