Yahoo! News – Bush Camp Sees Victory, Kerry Will Not Concede
it was a bad night for Democrats nationwide, as Republicans expanded their majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives and knocked off Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota.
That will make it easier for Bush to push his conservative agenda through Congress if he is re-elected, potentially making his tax cuts permanent and appointing more federal judges including possibly some U.S. Supreme Court (news – web sites) justices.
Well, I just got up to see what the news was on the count. I had to go to bed before I could tell who was going to be the next president, although, it wasn’t looking very good when I was going to bed. Raffa came in and gave me an update, and I think he did say that Bush won, but I can’t remember.
I woke up at 3:30 am just totally freaked out about this. I laid in bed and thought about the ramifications of this descision. Now the republicans have control of the Senate, the Supreme court, and it looks like the white house. This is not the way it’s supposed to be. There are supposed to be checks and balances. That’s not going to happen. This is very very bad. I’m am really fearful for what is going to happen to this country.
I just can’t believe this has happened. What is it about Bush that makes people so blindly follow him without seeing what he has done?
According to this article linked to above, it’s still too close to call, and that’s why Kerry is not conceding.
