Watching the U.S. elections
Yesterday evening we watched the U.S. elections.
The evening was over-shadowed for Dutch viewers by yesterday's murder. Jelly came later because she attended the protest meeting in Amsterdam on Damsquare.
Still, we had a great night together. It was really fun to be with my friends. Daniel, Jelly, Jerry, Marjolein and Rob were there, and we cleared up some of my stock of food and drinks; it was a really cozy night.
We went to bed after the update of 2:00 o'clock; there was not enough information then to say anything about the possible winner. It was exciting to get up at 8:00 o'clock and switch on the TV to see if there was a result already.
It looks like it's going to be a landslide victory for Mr. Bush and the Republican Party. Not only winning the presidency, but also by doing that with a very large margin in the popular vote and with picking up more seats in the Senate than expected.
Now I'm watching CNN; they're waiting to see if Mr. Bush will declare victory already.

HJB:
No landslide fortunately, not even a Victory Call yet. It now depends on Ohio and a lot of lawyers.

http://www.michaelmoore.com lists 17 reasons why not to slit your wrist, number 1 being: It is against the law for George W. Bush to run for president again. :-)
That is, of course, if he does not change the law... Or the voting machines: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/techpolicy/evoting/2004-11-06-ohio-evote-trouble_x.htm
