DC Tom Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 nm 99340[/snapback] Any sense of relief and glee I might feel at that is strictly because it means the process won't be dragged out until January. Fundamentally, we still have an idiot in the White House...not that Kerry would have changed that at all... Whatever else anyone might say about Kerry, a timely and honest concession by him does a great service to the country, in that it goes a long way towards rehabilitating people's faith in the electoral process that was shaken in 2000.

I only caught a few minutes this morning and although he voted for Kerry his show was VERY Entertaining this morning.... particularly the guy next to Buchanan who said, "this just in....the Bruce Springsteen concert scheduled for Jan. 15th on the south lawn of the White House has offically been canceled."

MichFan Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Classy move by John Kerry. In the end, I feel a little sorry for him. The John Kerry I saw in the late 1990's always impressed me as a man who might be the Dem candidate. When it came to fruition he was a mere shadow of that man I saw. Howard Dean and the Deaniacs forced Kerry into taking positions that were inconsistent with his past and some that I don't even think he believed in -- then they didn't show up and vote for him in large enough numbers (based on youth vote returns). The Micheal Moore wing of the Dem party forced him to take criticisms of Bush too far in the minds of the middle and helped energize Repubs. The Clinton holdovers forced him to pull foolish stunts to be a man of the people (e.g., hunting, windsurfing, Bon Jovi, Bruce). The Shrum wing led him into the "reporting for duty" speech and opened him up to the attacks from the Swifties. The Gore-was-robbed crew demanded anger at and disrespect for Bush. Terayyza couldn't keep her mouth shut. Edwards was AWOL. If the Dems want to point blame at anyone, each one of them needs simply to look in the mirror. Every criticism that can be launched at Kerry is a reflection from within a bitter and fragmented party. Kerry's failure is that in the end he did not have the leadership to unite the fragments behind him rather than against Bush. As such it is a good thing he is not President at this point in history. By conceding in such a classy way, Kerry has finally provided leadership in setting a new tone for the Dem party going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark VI Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Perhaps Carville committed suicide or got the Arkansas State Trooper treatment? 99359[/snapback] Actually, Carville has been fairly civil towards Bush . That other anayst on CNN, Paul Begala probably was beside himself this morning. He was unrelenting in his negativity towards Bush. He was completely convinced the exit polls were dead on and was joyfully declaring a Kerry win for days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
