This was always an 8 yr fight folks. Kerry did a great job considering
what was against him and us. With all the BBV machines for Bush, bogus felon lists and sheer voter suppression, a cowed and compliant media... We did real good. Today is just an other day toward the goal of really creating, not just restoring our democracy. WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY!!!!! We have our own budding progressive network on AM radio. We have the tools and people to keep the fight going. Don't let this latest steal get us bogged down in bitter and petty arguments over what went wrong. It's not Kerry's fault, or his campaign etc. The loss is plain and simple: We was robbed by the darkest of forces against democracy. Going all the way back to the creation of the HAVA and the failure of our politicians to ban BBV with no paper trail, with no accountability etc, I for sure had a very realistic view that winning in 04 was slim at best. I am very pleased to see how close we actually came to winning. Just 100K un-stolen votes shy of taking Ohio. Today the fight continues and we shall not give up.
We won New Hampshire. It has now joined the great BLUE States of the northeast. To win the state with the Motto - "Live Free or Die" only proves that we must fight with that motto ingrained in our souls. We must keep fighting and exposing the truth, We must keep growing progressive ideals at the community level by electing local politicians who are backed by an enthusiastic support base. So long as we work as a team, respect each other and most importantly, become selfless and share leadership by not stabbing our selves in each others back, we will win.

1. Considering what he was up against
48-49% of the popular vote is nothing to sneeze at.

3. I also think he did a great job. The Swift Boat Cry babies did him in..
I don't see how he could have forseen the number they did on him.

4. He did do a good job
But he should've foreseen the number because it's SOP for the GOP.

It's truly disgusting how they take a war record like Kerry's and made it an albatross. The power of propaganda is astounding...
