I notice something interesting in the answers to "what would you do if your candidate wins/looses.":
The Bush voters almost all answer something along the lines of "meh, no big deal," while the Kerry voters tend to be more passionate, especially in thinking that a Kerry loss will be a major disaster. Now, this should be taken with a huge grain of salt given the small sample size and obvious sample bias (duh)." Still, I think it's fairly reflective of other Kerry/Bush supporters I've heard from, and says something about the relative merits/demerits of those two candidates.
You mean like how most kerry voters who read this journal are rabid believers in some fantasy world they've been sold where bush winning will cause the armageddon in the next 4 years, whereas most bush voters who read this (while still delusional), basically just believe he's the better candidate?
Maybe that's just my take on the evidence. And if Bush does in fact cause an armageddon in the next four years I give you all permission to say I told you so, I'll be laughing either way though, I didn't vote for the giant douche or the turd sandwich.
And there's as equally rabid bush voters, but they neither seem to read this journal nor were they at my street corner yesterday in a kerry mask prancing around like an idiot.
The question of who I think will win needs some clarification, after the precedent set in 2000. Do you mean who I think will get the popular vote, the electoral college majority, or who will be appointed by the Supreme Court? Hey, it's a valid question:)
Look at how diverse your friends list is. I was thinking of you this morning. If you drink tonight, airborne is a great hang-over remedy. Sorry hon, I know you wanted this to go the other way...
