With leaked early exit polls suggesting a Kerry win, the Democrats began election night on a high, only to end up being dealt a triple body blow: Bush won, he won with a majority of the popular vote, and the Republicans strengthened their control of both houses of Congress.
___________________________________________________________"I actually did win the election, before I lost it"
John F. Kerry Nov. 3, 2004
Schadenfreude!
"Yes. I wasn't surprised by the election results. Even on college campuses I saw plenty of Bush/Cheney signs. If I'd stayed in my New York bubble, I wouldn't have expected it. People on both coasts voted for Kerry. I think that's because of oceans. Ports are placed you get information from elsewhere. Boulder is beautiful, but it's landlocked." Laurie Anderson
You aren't educated unless you can get information from overseas via a port and anyone who lives elsewhere is really dumb. Has this woman ever heard of the internet?
Also, we must all work diligently in the coming months to convince progressives that the Democratic Party has let them down. They must abandon the party. Their only recourse is to join and work for the Green Party moving forward. I may even register as a Green Party member to swell their voter registration rolls. Divide and conquer.
Begin with putting all known progressives in your sphere of influence on the Green Party mail list from their website. Great fun. Start inundating them with information now.
Schadenfreude (( ping )).
The hits just keep on coming!
The Democratic Party could have been victors - if only they had nominated George W. Bush.
We need to let the Left believe everything their telling themselves. In response to an excuse for losing the election just say "you know, you're absolutely right about that. That's exactly what you guys need to work on for the next 4 years." In 2006 and 2008 it will be 2004 all over again.
I know there was speculation about exit polls being doctored for the Presidential race. Anyone ever see any exit poll results for a Senate race?
If the polls were slanted the demographics of the respondents, this would also be reflected in the Senate races leaning dem. If they were doctored later on the other hand...
Personally, I think it was doctored based upon where the takers were sent to get exit polls. The sharp contrast of urban vs. non-urban voting patterns have made exit polls useless. That is how/why they were wrong.
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
