We’re all doomed!
How did he ever get elected in the first place? And what does it say about Americans that they picked him AGAIN?
Now, I’m sure there is something about it somewhere, but what happens if the Ohio votes that still have to be counted all turn out to be in favour of Kerry? It’s not likely, but it is possible… so the US will have a president who didn’t actually win the election. (Kinda like last time, then)… and there will be 250,000 disenfranchised voters. In fact, if they just stop counting now, those 250,000 voters will be disenfranchised. What a stupid system, to elect a president based on the best guess of how the election looks like it’s going.
That said, at least Kerry conceded. You just know that if it had gone the other way, the Republicans and Bush would have launched a massive legal appeal.
I hate to say it, but I would really not like to live in any of the big American cities at the moment. I just get a really bad feeling that there could be some sort of strike-back from our Middle Eastern friends…
