    I'm sad to say that I'll be voting for Kerry.
    I don't want Kerry as president, but I definitely don't want Bush as president even more.

    It's a sad day, and I hope tomorrow isn't worse.

    A sad day indeed. But it's all relative - As an American I can look among the existing human ranks and the ones who've suffered in the past and say that it's not all that bad; in fact, it's really, really, REALLY good. I try to keep that in mind, as gloomy as these days may seem.

    Anyway, I'm not bothering to vote. South Carolina is swamped with Republicans.

    Must be why all the fabric plants shut down and moved offshore, Republicans can not pay those rotton American workers a fair days wage or give those folks benefits.

    That would be UN-Republican, just ask the air traffic controllers union, they will tell you all about it. :confused:

    I honestly cannot comprehend how anyone can support bush & co

    I can see why people don't like kerry , but I just don't get how anyone can look at bushs term and say "YEAH give me 4 more years of that"

    unless you make more then 200,000 a year or own coal plant

    when has bush done anything for the average person

    is it the gay thing, I know their are people who would vote for someone if their platform was "give every millionare and extra million and ban gay marriage"

    Is that it? Does anyone have any convincing argurement for letting bush stay?

    I mean if he ran a company, he would have been fired

    In our reality, yes he would/should be fired, but in the fantasy world these guys create and maintain for themselves, no. When he was at Spectrum 7 it was losing money but he came out smelling of roses. (http://www.publicintegrity.org/report.aspx?aid=196)

    I guess being a Christian alone somehow qualifies you to lead the most powerful entity on the planet. :rolleyes: I don't think it's the gay thing exclusively - Bush, on the outside, appears to be a nice guy, and his traditional values and humble, childish features appeal to a large part of the population, especially the church-goers.

    The President is up so far - thank goodness.
    pull up cbsnews.com or cnn.com or www.foxnews.com

    Bush is winning by popular vote so far - ahead by 2 million - I hope he wins strong on both

    I bet Antoney has a glass of vodka in one hand and a cup of clorox in the other...

    anyway, cnn.com has a handy map, and it's a depressing blood-red...

    Right now on CNN.com they show

    Bush = 197 Electoral Votes
    Kerry = 188 Electoral Votes

    270 Electoral Votes = win

    Popular vote shows
    Bush = 34,456,527
    Kerry = 32,658,156

    But as shown by last election, popular vote doesn't equal a win.

    laughs at founding fathers. I'm no bush backer - but I have to agree the entire electoral college is BS. Everything or nothing approach is BS as well. :p

    I think it has been time the electoral college is used only in an emergency- such as an attack on US soil. Yes, that would have been Gore for the last four years and probably a lot more attacks on US soil - so I don't feel sorry for gore not being able to steal it last time.

    Dear friends,

    I would like to congratulate you with the reelection of president Bush.
    For those of you that supportent senator Kerry I hope you will find it comforting that
    Bush both won the popular vote and got the most electorial voters. I guess you all would have disliked a rerun of the 5 weeks of recount you had back in year 2000.

    Do you know that you have spent more than 1.000.000.000 USD on the presidental election alone, I hope some of you will see the problem with that kind of spending. I heard that in some states the spending per vote is as high as 80 USD. Someone should realize that TV-spots are a problem even for your form of democracy (which is not anywhere close to a real democracy by European standards).

    I don't think it's official of who won, but I do agree that the system needs to be reformed.

    Yes way too much money spent on campaigning. We should vote in a limit. That money could be used to help the poor.

    It isn't over yet, since the Kerry team may be looking to cause a gore in Ohio now.

    You're right, the US form of democracy isn't nearly as whiny or ineffective as Norwegian democracy.

    Why would you say something like that? Over here we have the same voteing laws everywhere in the same nation, there is no need to register to vote, there has not been any reports of vote fraud ever, the election officials here are not the representatives of any parties, all political parties gets lots of press coverage not only in newspapers, but also on TV and radio. Political advertising is illegal. And most importantly one voter equals one vote!

    In comparason the US democracy isn't a real democracy. You all sould learn from Europe and reform your system. i think the american people would enjoy a democratic system, without the negative advertising, and a true democratic popular vote.
