Schadenfraude

Roughly translated, it means “taking joy in another’s misery”. It describes what I’m feeling pretty effectively, because I have been proven not only accurate, but right.

Lemmetellya, being “right” is a whole lot more fun.

To be accurate, I missed with the Electoral Vote count, because the 80EV margin would have to be right about 309-229, and Bush only got 286 to Kerry’s 252 (assuming that Bush wins Iowa - official results are still pending, with Bush ahead by about 1% with 99% of the precincts counted).

Looks like Drumwaster had a HUGE day…

On the 3rd....was it the biggest day yet, Drummie?  Let me know.  I’m curious how the election-blog did.  Thanks for all the readers and the comments.  Special thanks to the Captain at Captains Quarters, who swapped e-mails with me in the wee-hours. 

Of course, there are some things we need to remember:

The Hell with That…

Bush won, Kerry lost. One, two, three.

That being said, I’m not going to start this conciliatory, kumbaya, let’s all get along nonsense with the donkeys.

The Democratic party(and all it’s support structures) as it stands now, is filled with the most repugnant scum in this country right now. Their efforts to retake the White House failed and their miserable and loathsome outlook for this country is vile.

They’ve done NOTHING of value or substance in the past four years except rant and rave against George W. Bush. Guess what donkeys...you lost! Big time.

You got spanked by a President you considered a dullard. You lost your Senate Minority Leader. You did not gain control of the House or Senate. And now you’re left whimpering, with your dribbling bowels all flummoxed, pondering the future of your movement.

Tough titty I say. You assclowns think we’re going to forget BUSH=HITLER just like that? Do you think we’re going to forgive Michael Moore and George Soros for trying hijack this country? Think again cretinous donkey felchers.

The Race Has Ended

Kerry Concedes:

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush won four more years in the White House on Wednesday, pocketing a public concession from Democrat John Kerry that closed out a loud and long campaign fought over the war on terror and the economy.

“We cannot win this election,” the Massachusetts senator said in an emotional campaign farewell.

Senator Kerry, thank you for having the class and intelligence to not take this country on a repeat trip of the 2000 election aftermath.  And for doing the right thing.  Thank you.

Yawn….

Sorry, but I’m just exhausted, and hurting so much I can’t really sleep.

Anyhow, while many of the networks are operating in an excess of caution, refusing to claim that one state or other has yet to be decided, despite there being no mathematical way that Kerry can pull out enough votes unless he won every single one of the votes remaining to be counted, the issue is no longer in any doubt.

I will also admit that I was wrong about one thing - I thought Steve would be able to pull Michigan out for Bush, giving him the 300 EVs I predicted back on the 19th. But the popular vote majority, a clear victory in almost every state, plus the sweet, sweet victory over Tom Daschle in the Senate by Senator-Elect Thune, makes me a very happy blogger this morning.

I had just over 620 voters processed, plus the estimated 25-30% mailed-in absentee votes, out of a precinct of about 1500, and I had heard that they were estimating a turnout of about 80% in Los Angeles, with waiting times measured in hours.

Long hours, but a happy result, and I am extraordinarily glad. Too pooped to pop, though, and I appreciate John doing the live-blogging.

Morning with the DU

Some choice posts:

**I cannot believe this country is actually going for this. I am still in shock. When I woke up I could hear the somber voices on the news so I knew it wasn’t over. The fact that they’re saying *shrub actually is winning the popular vote doesn’t give me any warm fuzzies for where this country is headed.

**We’re all doomed. If we’re all not in “re-education” camps by March it’ll be a miracle.

**There is absolutely no other way to describe it. I was so upbeat yesterday, completely confident that this America was disgusted with the lies, the fascism and the despicable rule of these neocons. How could I be so completely wrong? I have been questioning for hours on end, “how could my fellow Americans do this”? I do not understand this and I don’t think I ever will.

**leading a large number of ill-educated who enjoy simple answers for their simple minds.

Those in control seek only more money (more) power, and opportunity for their priviledged class.

The ignorant, are only ignorant. Please forgive them, they know not what they do.

Some of the posts are hysterical...."Democracy has failed in the United States”...etc.

Obviously, we’re all ignorant morons for voting the way we did. Hell, if we didn’t vote for Kerry, according to the DU, we’re too stupid for our own good. Pathetic. What a bunch of little babies…

It Is Now Official…

Tom Daschle goes down in defeat to John Thune.

Bye, Tom!  And don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
