loopychew...despite what everybody thinks, tomorrow will not mark the first day of the end of this insanity. This is just the beginning.
Regardless of who wins tomorrow between the Big Two, and especially if someone OUTSIDE the Big Two manage to win after the midnight count, Blood. Will. Fly.
Accusations of voter fraud on both sides abound; neither wants to believe their own party's hands are dirty in any way. Democrats are being accused of multiple votes, Republicans are allegedly blocking Democratic votes and/or altering ballots, and anyone who thinks either of these aren't going to be brought up in the next week ought to look at this bridge I'm selling. Nobody will be satisfied at ALL.
Face it, folks, regardless of the turnout, these next four years are gonna be hell. If not because the -incumbent or -elect end up screwing up on policies important to you or others, because you can bet your ass people will not let this election die.
Amendment: This will not be the last thing I will say about this election. Somewhere down the line, if anyone believes otherwise and tells me so, I reserve the right to an "I told you so."

Date: 2004-11-02 02:07 pm (UTC)Still, while I think there's plenty of mess to be sorted after the election, looking back at the last four years in which the election was no allowed to die, it's not going to be quite so bleak for the entirety of the next term (at least on that issue alone).
