True...on the other hand Bush won the popular vote this time.  Not but much 
but he won by enough that I doubt there would be a recount (if that was 
something that mattered)  And Nader did a lot less damage.  

I feel less like Bush won this election than he didn't lose it.
How many pro-Kerry folks were excited to have Kerry in the White House versus 
excited to get Bush out? 

The only time I got excited this election was when I heard former President 
Clinton last night on 102 Jamz pleading with folks to come out and vote.  I 
wanted to vote for him again.
