Can't spell WWIII without the Dubya!

Except Bush has the highest % of the popular vote since '88, including better then your boy Clinton.

awesome. i'd like to personally thank senator kerry for not dragging this election out like al gore, and realizing when he was beat. he put up a valiant effort, but in the end the people spoke and the best man won. now if we could make some folks realize they are in the minority and not the majority, we'd probably all be happier.

I'm not threatening to kill you, just stating that it would be good for the world if you died.
why ? Dying is not something to take lightly. Do you know anyone who's died in the war ? I do.

Grow up.

DOn't wanna be an American idiot....


Well maybe I'm the f*ggot America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along in the age of paranoia.

Stupid question.

When a candidate concedes, do they stop counting the votes?

you know. I respect Mr. Kerry far more for this then i did before. He is NOT going to pull a Gore and try to sue to win. It is reported that he will not sue because he does not want to cause more damage to the people of the US.

No, it just means they won't: ask for a recall, fight through the legal system, etc. It means the candidate has accepted defeat, that the results won't change. Technically it could, though (don't think it's going to happen this time), but I'm sure if you looked in the past you would find someone who conceded and later won...

I'm glad this ended ~12 hours after the polls closed. That alone is good for america. It's also good the popular and elector votes are going together.

edit: There could still be a recall if the numbers are close, and the state does it's manditory recall, I'm just saying the cadidate won't ask for a recall...

It's not like everyone in the US is a citizen and voter turn out was around 80%, which it is high, but 20% is still unaccounted for. But if the 20% wanted Kerry, it is their fault for not voting. It was a close race, and as an American, the only thing i can do is stand behind my president...congratuations President Bush.

They should have ensured their eligability and found their precient for voting in the first place. Not saying that all of them shouldn't be counted, but rules are rules. It's doubtful that Kerry could have pulled out the difference from those votes, anyhow.
