What more there is to say about the US presidential election?

Not much anymore. Well, the collapse of the Democratic Party was quite humiliating for themselves and pretty painful to watch as they didn´t fight, their spine just snapped and they surrendered. Pretty much like Karl Rove´s Norwegians in 1814. Coward Kerry and his Wimp Party betrayed their voters. Before the elections they said that Al Gore gave up too easily, but now they lasted less than a day.

The claims that I have heard and read about how counting every vote in Ohio and checking the legitimacy of every vote would be too much and practically impossible are odd coming from a country that claims itself to be democratic - and not just that, the most democratic country in the world. Odd is also the fact that Bush claimed himself winner as millions of votes were uncounted, and then the hapless Democrats, who had in the presidential election one chance to salvage something from the election disaster gave up as even this simple psychological game was too much for them. After this, they shouldn´t except much from the voters in the future. If they would have fought they could have salvaged at least their reputation, but they didn´t. I wouldn´t be surprised if there would be a split in the party or that they would lose part of their voters to independents in the future elections.
