On my way to work yesterday (election day), I saw at least 2 groups of people holding up Kerry signs by the road. I think Kerry supporters are more vocal than Bush supporters, hence my misbelief that Kerry would win this election. You don’t exactly see a conservative equivalent of Michael Moore making a Fahrenheit 9/11. Well there’s always that other film, but you never hear of it in the mainstream media.
Thoughts on last night: I didn’t care for the Kerry supporters behind the MSNBC newsdesk which would cheer everytime they reported Kerry had won a state. This isn’t Sportscenter. This is supposed to be fair and balanced news reporting. I want the facts and not some DNC (or GOP) campaign rally behind the newsdesk.
Get some reporters who can identify states on a map. One Foxnews reporter pointed at Mississippi and called it Louisiana. Ugh. These are supposed to be expert analysts?
So I guess we’ll see 4 more years of Michael Moore’s complaining. Probably another film or two. Probably more junk in Iraq. It’s a quagmire which I’m not sure we’ll get out of easily.
I like Bush, but I think he could be less polorizing to the country. I think he had the bad luck of having 9/11 in his presidency, hence the massive job loss. Kerry is a liberal Mass. senator. More people voting for Kerry were…in reality…voting against Bush. They didn’t necessarily like Kerry all that well, but they hate Bush.
I guess if anything it shows just how divided we are. South and west going for Bush; the more populous northern states going for Kerry. We are a polorized nation and probably will continue to be throughout years to come.
