Well, the other 4 year shoe has dropped, and Bush has been re-elected. I can't say I blame the American public, not that there is blame anywhere in my heart for anyone, not even the Dems for not fighting hard enough.. I mean.. I have to say that I would have done the same, electing Bush, and not just because of my strange belief in constitutional gun rights..
While the Kerry -Edwards ticket was definitely appealing, hip, young (?).. I can't vote (or support, given that I'm Canadian) for Kerry just because he's not Bush. I tried to fall for him: the war vet, the working mans man, with his trusty Edwards (elect in '08 sidekick. )But I just couldn't do it. Give me something to support you with, be it womens rights or a tangible plan for the troops overseas.. Anything that I can get behind.. But don't stump purely on the fact that you aren't the other guy.
Sadly, with a surprisingly early concession speech (putting all those lawyers chomping at the bit in a tizzy) and the announcement from a suspiciously absent Edwards that he would be permanently leaving politics due to cancer in the family(opening the door for Hilary '08) - the Dems folded like a fad.
