LE... I'd like to agree with you about how close the race is and I would have liked to have seen some last minute miracle where Kerry ended up as president of the United States of America.
Unfortunately, the reality is that 4% is a relatively large seperation in this election. The last election was seperated by 0.5% with the popular vote being against Bush. Even if Ohio had gone to Kerry, the other two states were very likely to have been for Bush.
Let's be gracious about this and accept that the largest common denominator has determined the course of the country for the next four years. This is still a sign that the government works in the way it was set up to run which is by will of the majority.
For those of us that disagree with the way the government is run now is the time to start working out how to convince the rest of the country that our beliefs will lead to a better future for our country.
