It’s been a long and dark 8 years. Now we move on.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
I would have to say 4 years ago this would seem as the most unlikely possibility. A far cry from this. But yet, here we are.
As requested by Mathew Gross here is the Official Nik Bronder 2004 Presidential Election Prediction:
Kerry 325 (52%)
Bush 213 (47%)
Nader 0 (1%)
Reasoning:
The massive voter turnout operations that are underway in ‘swing states’ such as Ohio, Michigan, Florida and West Virginia combined with the massive job loss (250,000 jobs in Ohio have been lost since 2000!) will be what decides this election. The ‘Iraq situation’ won’t help Bush and any way it can only hurt him. The Iraq situation doesn’t hurt Kerry in any way, if any thing it puts doubt into the eyes of millions of Americans. Back to my first point, this election is about jobs & turnout.
