YES!!!!
President Bush won not only the popular vote by an all-time high value, surpassing Reagan, (First person to win the popular vote since 1984), but won the largest electoral margin since the earth cooled, assuming the Ohio numbers hold.
Of course Kerry’s complaining and delaying, but it’s not going to hold, trust me on this. THe numbers simply are not there.
It gets better… Thune won, which means Daschle’s looking for work, and the Dmeocrats are looking for a new Senate Leader.
That alone was worth the price of admission.
The Republicans picked up at least 5 seats in the House and at least one in the Senate as I look at it at the moment. As soon as I pour some coffee, I’ll have a better look around and comment on it.
One of the things I’ll be checking is the moaning and groaning at moonbat central, of course.
Update:I had a number of thoughts on this while driving in.
All the big, and rich people who backed Kerry… Soros, Bing, etc, who tried to buy the election. Do you know the Democrats outspent the Republicans on the order of nine to one this time out? They still couldn’t buy the election.
The Hollywood left who tried to use their start drawing power to bandwagon it…(And ended up ending their own careers, or at least damaging them…) all the voter fraud the Democrats tried to foist off on us as voter rights issues… Rotundo Moore’s ranting and raving…. all of this, and yet THIS is the best the Democrats can do?
It adds up to a sounder rejection of the Democrats than anyone ever figured on.
The Iraqi people are breathing a sigh of releif this morning, I’ve no doubt. (Mental note to myself; check out the Iraqi bloggers this morning.)
And the funniest thing I thought of came with a bit of help from Mike Smirconish down at WPHT in Philly this morning, who remarked to the effect of imagining the look on Rotundo Moore’s face this morning, as he stuffs another double order of cheese fries into it.
The happiest woman in the world is Hillary Clinton. Now, she can run in ’08. Oh, and speaking of which; the Bill Clinton magic seems to have lost an edge. Kerry lost in those states Bubba stumped for Kerry in, with the exeption of NY, whch would have gone Kerry anyway.
Katie Couric is dressed in black today, and isn’t quite so damned perky. Gee, wonder why, huh?
Oh, and one thing you won’t hear from the Democrats; In 2000’s election, they complaineed that Ralph Nader spoiled their chances. They can’t complain that now; Nader wasn’t a factor, and the Democrats lost this one all on their own.
Ten different states adopeted DOMA laws. This was supposed to be the big draw for the Democrats, who want such defeated. All the states who had them won by wide margins…. even in Mich, where Kerry won. Think about that on your own for a while; I’ll break this one out for examination later this week. (Update: Actually it’s 11, now, not ten)
I said two years ago, that if the Democrats lose big in 2004, the Democrat party is over. They knew it, too, which is why the extrodinary amount of money and star capital, and effeorts to defraud in the voting booth were all expended in this cycle.
Despite all of that… the Republcians still won, and won big. I hold to my prediction; we will now see the Democrat party as we know it, in it’s death struggle. Democrats will be turning on themselves this morning, and in the coming days as they start to understand just what it is they’ve lost. The silence on the usual moonbat channels, inclding usenet’s alt.politics.* areas, is deafening.
Of course Kerry hasn’t admitted, in spite of all evdience, that he HAS lost, good sport that he is. I can think of only one reason Kerry’s not given up, based on the math I’m seeing from Ohio,a nd the providional ballots; He thinks the Provos are stacked in his favor. Traditionally, the trends in the provisionals are not statistically different from the physical areas involved. Kerry seems to think they are this time, though.
Hmmm. Does he know something he’s not telling us?
Update2: VodkaPundit speaks to that point:
“Bush has obviously won the popular vote. If he was “selected not elected” in 2000, then why on Earth would the Dems want to try to put Kerry in via lawsuits in 2004?”
Ummmm… because the whole thing was always a ruse? Just a guess.
