Here is how I deal with it. I have already accepted the probability of another Bush presidency. It's likely.

Then, I remember the candidate I voted for. I remember the words at the end of his concession: Someone in the audience said, "Senator Kerry- I've got your back." Kerry replied, "and I've got yours. You'll see" or something to that effect.

At this point, I have no idea if Ohio or Florida will turn. But despite the disappointment of others and the quiet media, I am convinced that Kerry is working very quietly to win this election... still.

The John Kerry I voted for has too much class to drag the country through another circus like 2000. He doesn't need the spotlight; he just wants results. He may not know if he has anything, and if nothing ever comes up a quick concession was the right thing for the country. I would not expect him to say another thing about the election. Unless..... he can build an airtight case that no Bushista can argue with; a case so compelling there is no denying it.

Don't worry about whether it will happen or not. Just know that John Kerry has reported for duty, a duty he takes very seriously. I am convinced he is still working to become president this January.

I hope that gives you some confidence. It seems like a long shot, but out of all the potential tickets that could have been in this situation, Kerry, the prosecutor, the guy who busted BCCI, and Edwards, the trial lawyer, are the very two best men that could bring this home.

If they do, it will make a great movie. Sometimes life is the best movie.

Do not adjust your set.

I BELIEVE!
