Just out of curiosity, how would you really feel if Kerry lost |
|
the popular vote and won the electoral college? I would still be really angry about the stupid Americans who didn't vote for him. Just a thought.

I'll be happy with a win, but I'll only be truly, honest to God satisfied with a landslide. Anyone who votes for Booosh needs to have their head (or heart) examined.

Many of the so called experts are leaning in that direction, including Zogby. I wanted to know what people would think. I would be upset if we lost the popular vote under any scenario. Naturally I want Kerry to win, and I think he will, but I want to win both the EV and the popular vote for obvious reasons. And I really want to believe that there are more smart Americans than stupid ones!

I don't want the results of this election in question. The only good thing I could see coming from it is that maybe we could truly do away with the ridiculous electoral college system once the Democrats and Repubs have both been screwed by it.

Live only 3 hours from the border, but I'd be heading as far north as I could.

To have a new POTUS!
Oh yeah, I would feel very, very, slightly vindicated for the 2000 theft.

I don't think it's very likely but I've resigned myself to a large contingent of ignorant Americans. Let's face it - this election wouldn't be anywhere NEAR close if the majority of the public would open their eyes and minds to the truth. Unfortunately, too many people buy into repuke bulls*** because it's easy and many people are lazy and the repugs take advantage of the weakest aspects of human nature. Their is blame to go all around but at some point, people have to wake themselves up. So, if it takes an electoral victory (though I am opposed to the electoral system) to give them a four year wake up call then so be it. I'd enjoy watching the neocons and their minions try to scream and cry about it without making it painfully clear to even the most ignorant what hypocrites they are.

23. I would be dissapointed |
|
but hey, that is the American voting system for ya ;-)
I am still against the Electoral College. If there are any Republicans willing to abolish it, I'll be the first one to sign up.

24. only way if it did happen which it isn't is if we won back congress |
|
I'm ok with loosing Presidency, but what I am not ok is with them having control of congress. If they happen to win then we need to make damn sure we win congress back.

...watching both political parties engage in full out hypocrisy by completely reversing themselves on everything they said in the past four years regarding the popular vote vs. electoral vote controversy would be delightful. And don't tell me that the Democratic Party wouldn't do it because they would.
Anyway, it doesn't matter because Kerry is going to win both.
