50. This to me is an example of exactly what republicans mean
when they say, 'get over it'. Sorry, but in this instance, I believe they are right. Throughout history there have been scores of able or worthy men who sought but did not win the WH presidency. So what?

Setting aside the issues of voter irregularity or stolen votes, the only candidate who sought the WH who I did not and would not have hired is the jerk that is in there now, George Bush. Would that George Bush merely offered mediocrity in place of the mendacity he so clearly displays.

As for the Vietnam stuff, Kerry was in the war, not me. To me, he has the right to do with his service whatever the hell he wants. I don't care what he does and that had little to do with his public service accomplishments anyway. This is a man with an elegant approach to his message that at the time of this election was lost on many. To bad, so sad, but.....when the vast majority of Americans shop at dumps like Walmart, read People magazine, and get fat because they are too lazy to so much as make their own food, one can only say....

So what?
So what?
So what?

This was the 911 election. In an emergency, people don't and won't vote for a "genuine idealist". The fault of the democrats may have been to miss the cues society was giving about wanting a cowboy with spurs in place of a distinguished diplomat. So, was Dennis Kucinich their cowboy? Were there any cowboys on the Dem. end? Ostensibly, only one, Howard Dean. And we know where that went.

So what?
