To me, this throws out all of the theories that previously worked, most notably "120 Million voters means a decisive Democrat victory." Come to find out this ain't true, just goes to show you that nothing that has happened in the past guarantees a future outcome.

This is what I have been thinking about all day...
But I've been more impressed by how all the media, how EVERYONE it seemed was so pro-Democrat, so pro-Kerry, so anti-Bush. I mean, every bit of news you watched talked about Kerry's winning the debates, or Kerry's ahead on the opinion polls or Kerry this and that... and yet, everyone was wrong... I admit, I've been watching the Boston news here on the east coast, and obviously it's pretty hardcore Democrat country here, but even in Canada all we've been hearing and reading about is how everyone hates Bush and wants Kerry in. I assumed this sentiment was fairly strong across the US.
I guess the media had me brainwashed. Fully expecting a Kerry win. But I have to admit I'm happy with the outcome ( assuming it is a Bush win )
