Although they are not advertising it on their site it appears Nightline was with John Kerry and chronicled his rise and fall on election day. Looks to be an interesting behind the scenes look at what happened on Election day when the lerry campaign went from jubilation that theyhad won the race at 4 PM, to the realization that they had lost it at 4 AM.
Thet are running an off the schedule special on it tonight
I guess they decided they were going to be there to celebrate with him doesn't it?
What they should be running is story on President Bush and his victory. Its just one more way the MSM is trying to shove their leftist agenda down the throat of America.
I witnessed the DU meltdown up close and personal... very entertaining.
It was great, wasn't it?
Didn't the night before the election they spend the entire show doing a story about how hard Kerry had been campaigning.
It appears they may have placed their bet on Kerry, in hope , and they were with him all day from the preview i saw....
Schadenfreude (sp?) alert. Could be a fun show.
I am not sure but you KNOW Kerry was their man when they became part of his campaign (re: the John O'Neil ambush two weeks ago...)
Yes - schadenfreude - I will watch...I get a big kick out of watching the libs meltdown and get pissed...It will be Jon Stewart at 10 in my area and then Koppel...I will pop some corn...fun!
Were you in Boston? Did you see the NU kids come down with the BC04 signs chanting "4 more years." once it was clear he had lost? LOL!
Hey Hanoi Kerry
The BEST is yet to come from Viet Nam Vets!
WAIT till America knows the REAL truth about you!
Your "honorable discharge" is as phony
as your Purple Hearts and your other phony medals!
You and the MSM are traitors to the American public!
Go to France you scum! And take the MSM with you!
THEN the MSM can't try and "fix" another
election with their phony polls.
I think the reason for this is that not many people were voting late in Philly or Pittsburg. I work in Philly and live in a northeast suburb that went narrowly for Kerry (by about 9000 votes out of over 300,000 cast). In the area where I voted as well as in 3 voting places in Philly itself, there were no lines, even at poll closing. In the more Republican areas, people were still in line at poll closing and so were voting for as long as 2 or 3 hours after poll time. In one of those counties, Bush won by a 2 to 1 margin. Therefore, the city was able to begin counting earlier than many of the counties that went for Bush. Gov. Rendell was on the radio at about 5 minutes after the polls closed jubilantly boasting that Philadelphia would produce at least a 300,000-400,000 vote plurality for Kerry when the final tally was given. And that's what the early results showed. I'm sure he and the other Dems were quite shocked when that lead dwindled to a mere 125,000

I hope the Swiftvets will continue until they get the word out about the real nature of the Vietnam War. The record still needs to be set straight.
I once knew Peter Braestrup, who was a foreign correspondent for the New York Times and went to Vietnam. He left the Times and wrote a book about the Tet Offensive which pointed out how badly the media had misrepresented and lied about what happened. It was generally ignored.
I think he was, and probably still is, a liberal, but he got whacked for trying to tell the truth. That truth is still being suppressed, which falsely dishonors all the Americans who fought, suffered, and died in that war.
Philly DID produce a 400K margin for Kerry. What happened was that the Pro-Bush areas also upped their margins. In Penn it wasn't quite enough, but exactly the same phenomenon is what kept Fla and Ohio in the Bush column and made the switch in NM and Iowa.
Is this ia re-run of the show from the night before last? I started watching it, but fell asleep. I had been up Tuesday night until like 3:30am...waiting for a Kerry concession.
Anyway, it was really good, but I fell asleep before the early poll hype and the meltdown. The best part was knowing the ending.
Hint...we win!
Yes, I know that Philly produced a 400K margin....but Rendell was saying that that is what Kerry's margin in the entire state would be. It was the huge Republican turnout in the rest of the state (excluding Pittsburg) that negated this huge advantage. Considering the slime that Rendell tried to pull with military ballots and prison voting, he must be worried that he might not be able to count on a similar margin for him in two years. Also, considering the huge turnout in Philly, I'm not sure when exactly all these people voted since, I only personally heard of long lines at one polling place and that was before and after most people went to work.
I was there. *smirk*
awesome... Northeastern Young Repubs...
