#19 I'll be listening carefully to Lurch's concession speech: I want to see what messages he's sending to the party faithful. I'll also be listening to Bush's victory speech at 3 pm EST; I hope he gives some kind of hint as to what's next in the WoT.

#20 I was surfing on the TV and stopped on SeeBS to look at the coverage. The White House reporter gave the most slanted coverage I had ever seen, short of a Mike Moore movie. The reporter (Plante) said that the reason Kerry conceded was because Bush was planning a victory speech. Also he opined that the Bush side played ‘hardball’ with Kerry in order to get him to concede. Good to see they are off to the same coverage for the next four years.

#21 Well played, Kerry. Ending the contest like this in an honourable and sensible manner will ensure that you maintain your personal dignity and that your party can look to the future with dignity, honesty and good grace.

While we're talking about Democrats and dignity - now would be a good time to give Moore and the other America haters and lunatics the boot.

#23 I'm inclined to give Kerry points for not drawing the thing out. The Moonbat Left and the MSM really wanted to have another Florida, and it would have been easy for him to go along.

(I yield to no other Rantburger in my contempt for Ketchup Boy, but it's only fair--if you're gonna rip him for when he's wrong, you gotta give him props when he does the right thing.)

#24 Its now up to Bush to fulfill his promises. He must bring the war in Iraq to a successful conclusion, including democratic elections. He must catch OBL. He must deal in a prudent but effective manner with Iran. He must improve our relationships with other major world powers, esp fellow market democracies (hows that for avoiding the word "ally") And he must reach out and ensure that the GWOT is an enterprise of ALL Americans of good will, and not just the GOP.

May G-d support him in that, and may we all do what we can.

The recriminations will be long and nasty. Kerrys strategy of papering over the divisions within the party has failed. Some will call for a return to sanity, while others will say Kerry lost for personal reasons, or for impurity, and that Dean would have won. It wont be pretty.

I think it's much less likely with a Kerry concession. Had Edwards gotten his way and started fighting precinct by precinct here in Ohio, I'd have been worried about Cincinnati's safety.

#33 "He must improve our relationships with other major world powers, esp fellow market democracies (hows that for avoiding the word "ally")."

Just for kicks, let's turn it around the other way: I see absolutely no reason-- and I mean NONE-- why it is up to George Bush to improve those relations. And I see plenty of reason-- witness the corrupt business dealings France, China and Russia had with Saddam-- for them to work their butts off improving their relations with us, instead.

"And he must reach out and ensure that the GWOT is an enterprise of ALL Americans of good will, and not just the GOP."

Huh? The ***ONLY*** reason the GWOT ended up as ANYTHING other than the enterprise of all Americans is because the leadership of the Democratic Party made a calculated political decision to exploit the political energy of its moonbat Left fringe to gain cheap advantage in yesterday's election. The Democrats divided the country over this war, not George Bush.

#36 Two words - Dick Gephardt. The Republicans didn’t defeat Kerry cause there aren’t enough of them, the independents beat him. Enough Americans in the middle decided to back someone who would be real on national security, defense and the war. The Dem’s had a viable candidate but the anti-war/hate America crowd had to be pandered to at the cost of even more votes for Bush. Just remember every vote that Mr. Gephardt would have gained would have been one taken away from Bush. This race was decided well back in the spring when the stealth anti-war candidate got the nod from the party.

The homegrown moonbats and the rest of the world will have to get over it and get on with it... four years is a long time to be a marginalized screecher. Those ranks should slowly thin down to the core morons - the unsalvagable - their tool-fools tiring of the game and slowly blending back into the mainstream.

A spike in insanity, then a long recovery.

#54 Re: the Kos crowd calling for no concession -- I did my part from the other side. Called Hilary and Schumer, the DNC, the DNCC, the state Dem org and Lieberman. Message early this AM: Kerry/Edwards concede quickly and fully, or I:

a) contribute to Bush's legal fund
b) switch my party registration
c) work my butt off to defeat Dem candidates at all levels of office for the next 25 years

Made it plain the country means more to me than (what is left of) the party I once supported.

The people I reached didn't sound thrilled to get the feedback. But then, neither was the Dem GOTV caller to whom I gave a piece of my mind on Saturday, either.

Heh.

NOW BUSH MUST PRODUCE RESULTS.

#56 I wrote a rather nasty bit this morning on Kerry not conceding. Now that he supposedly is, I'm not ready to retract it, primarily because until I hear what he says, I don't trust him not to claim "we wuz robbed" anyway, and thus give fuel to the leftist media and the moonbat battalions.

If he doesn't do that, and he doesn't run his mouth weeks/months from now, then I'll be happy to take it back.

#62 Thanks to the silent majority. I used to laugh at Nixon for that, but time and circumstances change perspective. The SM was able to wallow through the mire of the MSM and come out on top. The SM goes to work everyday and tries to do right. The SM is well-educated, but, more importantly, has better judgement and more backbone than Moore, Kos, Kerry, Sully, etc. I was amazed how the polls never seemed to put Kerry over 50%; I always wondered when it would happen. So, I was fairly confident in a W win, but remembered Truman in '48.

Anyway, we're over the top. W, thanks for sticking to the plan. Have opposing govts. come to you on your terms, but let them know they're welcome. Take pride in and be thankful to the allies who have stuck with you; be assured that they are now assured as to US policies and expect more commitment out of them. Expect even a few more allies. Thanks to Fred, as well, for maintaining this site. Now it's off to another job, but early. I want to see the rage in my Lefty colleagues.

The Bushies divided the country BEFORE the war. With a partisan approach to almost everything. That undercut those Dems who wanted to unite behind the war.

#69 "Have opposing govts. come to you on your terms, but let them know they're welcome. Take pride in and be thankful to the allies who have stuck with you; be assured that they are now assured as to US policies and expect more commitment out of them"

expect MORE commitment out of them? Hungary just announced theyre getting out in the spring. Netherlands i think is getting out. None of of the coalition of the willing has any more to give. This is as moonbatty as Kerrys ideas of getting help from France and Germany.

How about Bush turnaround and reward Blair for moving the Blackwatch Regiment to Baghdad? Concessions on global warming seem to be what Tony is interested in.

#70 well...ok LH. I'm really glad to hear you didn't vote for Kerry. My esteem for you just rose higher.

However, I think this comment is unfair, "The Bushies divided the country BEFORE the war. With a partisan approach to almost everything. That undercut those Dems who wanted to unite behind the war" Bush made many efforts to be bipartisan - only to get his face slapped for doing it. I wouldn't be surprised if he just doesn't even bother to try this time around - though I hope he does.

#71 So did Nader win or what?

#72 name some 2b. No coalition cabinet, despite the 2000 election tie. no compromise on his tax plan. no compromise on the environment. About the only area where he seriously worked with the Dems was on Education. They ran Max Cleland out of office as 'soft on terrorism' cause Cleland disagreed about labor issues in the dept of Homeland security.

Look hard, while you gloat. You got an incumbent president, with a recovering economy. History says you should win. Then youve got a war going, and we dont as a general rule change horses in midstream, unless we're in a quagmire (which i think we all agree we're not) And the dems nominate a Massachusetts liberal, someone as aloof and as poor a campaigner, with a flip floppy record, a Kerry. And Bush STILL only pulls 51% of the vote? Still comes within one state of losing the election? Dont you think there is, er, a problem? You can go blame it on the MSM if you wish, just like the idiot lefties are now blaming defeat on people who thought WMDs were found in Iraq. I got a message to both - the people aint subject to mind control. The MSM is no worse now than when Reagan got 60% of the vote. There are MORE, and louder conservative voices now than there were then. You got a problem, just like the dems have a problem, and if youre smart youll face up to it. And for the good of the country you'll face up to it.

#74 LB,

I have been reading you for a while. What, specifically, do you suggest that the Bush Administration should do to better the economy of this country?

#75 LH is right. A War Cabinet is a damn good idea.

#76 LH apparently you missed my post early this morning where I said I wouldn't gloat just for the reasons you list. Kerry was probably the worst candidate for president EVER and the DNC is diseased.

I'm not going to argue with you on the bipartisan issue because you don't see any good in Bush because you don't want to.

I don't consider myself a Republican - but the current Democratic party is mean, thuggish, more self-righteous than the Pat Robertson crowd. Seems to me that the people that I know who embraced the party were all about hating Bush and little more.

Yes, Bush faces big problems - and I don't expect him to create utopia - no one can - but he's done a good job and I for one, am grateful for his service.

So don't get on a high horse about how much better the liberals are than the conservatives - because right now, they aren't.

#77 Fuck yeah Ship, and lets stop calling it the pc Dept of Defense and go back to it's original and more kick-ass name "The War Department."

The fact that Leiberman and Gephardt were so easily dismissed at the dem primaries told me their party was screwed. That, imho, would've of been a worthy dem ticket.

#80 By placing that cross on the ballot for Bush

Obviously a Canadian moonbat. AFAIK, the US doesn't use ballots on which you "place a cross" for your candidate. That's the Canadian system. Nice metaphor/imagery though. I give it a 7.0 just for that.

#81 Maryland has ballots like that, at least the district where my boss votes: paper ballots, with the names printed on them and square boxes to mark an "X" in.

And what is Mineta - a libertarian? The head of the CIA was a holdover from the last administration as well.

#87 My two cents worth.

I was worried for a bit last night, but am quite pleased at the outcome. I had expected a bigger Bush margin, but only by about 1% more. Optimist that I am and all.

Tomorrow, I am taking an extremely liberal friend out for a few damned fine scotches. He borders on just-this-side of the moonbat fringe - it's Vermont after all; time to reel him in a bit, and help him out.

Then I'm going to take him out shooting; just not immediately after - I'll give him (and me) a night's rest first. He's never done that before (shooting, not drinking) and is fascinated that it is 'allowed'.

And Fred, a hearty Thank you! for this site. This is and has been a true refuge.

#88 Mike, Mike, you are a cruel man. Take it from someone who knows these people...if you actually kill something on your little adventure - you will put him over the edge. The question is ...is he really your friend or are you just guiding him to the cliff to give him a shove?
