  • One important point that I havent seen mentioned is Rehnquists cancer. It almost certainly means that Bush will nominate at least 1 supreme.

      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

        • In all seriousness, no matter who won, I'm very happy that we were able to have a president who carries the majority of the vote and that turnout was very high.

          It has been a long while since this last happened.

            • Yeah, partisian politics have been a great boon for getting Americans to own up to their responsiblity to vote.

              I'm actually kinda proud of the partisian uprisings, at least now people are putting some passion into their politics. Death to political correctness!

                Since Rehnquist's a reactionary, his leaving his post won't matter much, except to see Scalia heading the Court.

                    A more likely explination was that since Republicans campaigned much harder this time he was able to get out his base more effectively.

                      Is that all??? Didn't we have 105 million last time?

                      • Its over 60% of those eligible to vote I believe.

                        • It's in the 120 million range. Very high. We already have 113 million counted, not including the provisional ballots and some absentee ballots.

                          • One thing that I'm noticing on cnn.com is that more Democrats voted for Bush than there were Republicans who voted for Kerry.

                            In Pennsylvania, 14% of Democrats polled said they voted for Bush, but 11% of Republicans said they voted for Kerry. In Ohio, 9% of Democrats went for Bush... only 6% of Republicans went for Kerry. CA: 12% of Dems went for Bush, 9% of Repubs went for Kerry.

                              That's typically the case. There are more conservative Democrats than liberal Republicans.

                                Yeah, Democrats are more likely to have a sudden flash of coherent thought than Republicans are of having a temporary lobotomy.
