I think the curse was transfered to Kerry!
From your lips to God's ears.
Analogous to the high priest laying hands on the second goat, signifying the transferrence of all the sins that were laid up in the temple for the year, then sending the goat out into the wilderness, thereby cleansing the temple.

If the democrat party can cleanse itself by voting republican this year, it will have the opportunity to re-build itself from scratch and put its leadership back into the hands of those who love America and will help to restore its principles.
Otherwise it may just suffer the fate of the first goat.
