Kerry has conceded much more graciously than a lot of the Anandtech members, and they didn't even run.
Too true, I'll bet it's an ugly day in P&N for some AT members.

Congrats Bush, you won again. The people have spoken. Here's to another 4 years. :beer:

Just knowing that half the population is against him is good enough for me. I guess this is why we have a maximum of 8 years in office.

The real question is, who the fsck are we going to vote for in 2008? :Q

Hillary Clinton.

I'd have no problem with her running the cuntry.

What I meant to say to EA was:

isn't it great to see our votes NOT meaning a damn thing?

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/20...tes/UT/P/00/index.html

dude where in utah do you live? i went to salt lake city this past weekend and that place sucks! there is NOTHING to do there and its so boring! thank god the people from my company I went with were cool.

Just past Park City in a town called Heber. It's about 40 minutes from SLC. SLC's not too bad, you just have to know where to go


there IS no where to go! we stayed at the marriot. we went out saturday night and sunday night, and each night the first place we went to had a cover, and before we paid for the cover we were told the places were havnig GAY NIGHT that night, by the cashiers, so we gladly left. then we went to another place and found out they stop serving alcohol at like 1, which is ridiculous!

we heard from a local that the place is 75% mormon. we figured the other 25% are homosexuals.

yeah, about the same for Rep vs Dem, too.

Which club did you go to? And the 1am law is state wide. Can't even purchase alcohol @ a store past 1.

well we went to club Naked the first night, thinking it might be a strip club or something, but later found out it was a gay bar that night. then we went to this place that looks like an old church or something, and in the lower area its 18 and older, and upstarirs its 21 and older.

the next night i forget the name of the first place we went, but it ended up being gay night there too. then we went to Pool Junkies, i think that was the name.

all in all its just a dead city as far as night life, which is what we were looking for at that time.


The church looking place is probably what used to be called "The Bay", but I think it's called something else now.

Shoulda hit Area 51 if you're into the dance club stuff.

Club Naked was The Bay.

Area 51 is cool, as is Port O Call.
If you go to Park City, Harry O's is where it's at.

Unfair. She already served 2 terms.

Interesting. Intentional or no?

I haven't decided yet.


Although, it does depend on who the Republicans trot out. If I voted, I would never vote strictly by party.

If our country can ever get over racism, perhaps Barack Obama.... although I think he may be more likely for 2012 or 2016.

I predict that Obama will be the first black president (though I had hoped it would have been Powell). He has such an enthusiastic following as it is.

:beer: for standing behind process/winner. I was fully prepared to do the same yesterday, when I though Kerry was going to win.

You were right on the recount in Florida. The state called for the recount. Out of curiosity, do you happen to know how close a vote must be for a state to call a recount? Also, if it is within this threshold is it manditory for a state to hold a recount or must officials within the state call for it? I only ask because I really don't want to wait for a recount if Ohio is close.

Bush was relieved when Nader also called him to concede the presidential election.

Up to the state to decide.

Ohio really isn't all that close, 537 votes is close, 130K is not.

It depends on each state. for Ohio, any group of 5 voters can demand a recount, but for Ohio to perform a manditory recount, the vote must be .25% or less of a difference.

IIRC it's 0.25% for Ohio.

I think it varies by state, last night they said it was .025% in Ohio, and it wasn't that close. I don't think it's going to matter, there are too many votes for Bush to force an auto recount, and since Kerry conceded, he won't call for one.

edit: it may be .25%, was a late night, for many I'm sure.

CNN is "funny", even at this hour, they still won't concede Ohio to Bush (Showing 254 to 252) - when it is apparent that it's mathematical impossible for Kerry to win the state.

I thought here in the States, the network would be free of political influences. Other network did the same, but CNN is the worst.

I hope that both sides can come up with better candidates than they did the last 2 elections, if Bush and Kerry are as good as it gets then there isn't much reason to vote anyway.

So by conceding the state to Bush is NOT a political influence? I think they are not influenced by politics by NOT conceding the state untill all votes are tallied.

Then why are they calling any state? Every state has provisional ballots that could take a week to count. That argument doesn't hold water...

IMO Kerry is showing a lot of dignity and respect in his concession speech. There's an important lesson there for all of us.

This is probably one of his best perfomances I remember seeing. I voted Bush, but I have to admit that Kerry is being quite impressive with how he is handling this situation.
