the outcome of the election

[Occhidiangela]

All I can say in reply is

Cool it a little about 2006 and 2008. I only got really interested in elections/politics in general in the past year or so, and only got into this election in the last few months, so I'm snew at this. Two/four years gives me some time to get the hang of things and learn some more about people.

Hold onto that thought for a while, like the rest of your life! :D Welcome, once again, into the ranks of those who bother to register and vote.

Another thought.

If the numbers were about 57 million Bush and about 53 million Kerry, and America has about 300 million people, and maybe a third are under 18 and can't vote . . .

Then there were 81 million who could have bothered to register and vote for a third candidate and won a significant, landslide victory! :o (For that matter, around four or Five million more on Senator Kerry's side and he would have won.)

That they don't bother is troubling to me.

Bring back the Bull Moose Party!!!!!!!
