November 02, 2004 It's Bush Me and my credentialed self are calling it a win. Take that for whatever it's worth. When it's official, I have some emails to shoot to a few commenters who've contended with me for 8 months that Kerry would win. I'm pretty good at gloating when it turns out that I'm right. So it seems the youth did not vote. They only made up 17% of voters which is the same number as last year. But that's according to the pollers who talk to the drunken college students. Yep, the reasons for this apathy will be my column topic next week. I did however, have a chance to put together what I feel are some of the best pictures of November 2nd > >  Bush and family sit back and watch the results. Gotta respect a man who can cross his legs without looking feminine.
 Improper use of the American flag. This man may be helping with ballots, but he's certainly not helping the cause of patriotism with that vest. Go straight to jail.
 You gotta admit, this is beautiful. Obama deserved this win way more than Keyes with his carpetbagger, pro/anti-reparations floppy self.
 At this point, they may be holding up their hands for the number of drinks they've had.
 Senate majority leader Bill Frist does the hokey pokey.
 Is that supposed to be a donkey? (The balloon not the guy)
 At this point, I'd be asking people like this NOT to vote for me.
No dog deserves this.
 And no dog deserves this either.
 I am convinced I may have attended high school with these individuals.
 And yes, everyone voted.
 Perhaps the prayers worked.
 Completely unnecessary.
 This is how I felt all day.

» Post-Election Roundup from News from the Great Beyond Tracked on November 3, 2004 11:05 AM CommentsPosted by: Amber at November 2, 2004 11:11 PM "I'm pretty good at gloating when it turns out that I'm right." Ambra... that is such the Christian thing to do... I know Jesus would be proud. In any case... I'm depressed... but I take solace in the fact that for once in his mediocre, over-privileged, pathetic life, Bush will have to clean up his own mess. The country will survive... we will all move on...we always do... Posted by: jab at November 3, 2004 12:40 AM I wish we could split into three countries... (1) the west coast (Cali, Oregon, Washington... eh, we'll steal Nevada), I'd love to see Red States economically survive. Alas... just a pipe dream. Posted by: jab at November 3, 2004 12:47 AM About that west coast thing... You can feel comfortable in taking East washington with you. East Washington is Red Country. There just aren't enough people there to overcome King/Snohomish/Pierce County on the West side. Posted by: Sarah Schreffler at November 3, 2004 01:15 AM I'm 60 years young and I've never, in my lifetime, been polled. If I were, I'd lie about it! I think polls are a media attempt to influence stupid voters who don't know the issues and want to vote for the "winner". Posted by: Jim Hovencamp at November 3, 2004 03:19 AM For he's a jolly good fellow And happy trails, Tom Daschle, you obstructionist so & so. (Hi Ambra. How've ya been, Sis? I'm cool.) Posted by: Beau at November 3, 2004 05:24 AM Wonder if Jab would be gloating if the results were different? Ambra, you go right ahead and do the Republican hokey pokey (don't worry Kerry and Edwards won't go brokey) dance. We'll continue to thank God for the election results and celebrate His providence. While you're dancing you can sing out this little ditty. Those were some good pictures you posted. Thanks.

God Loves You! Posted by: Ambra at November 3, 2004 07:52 AM Gloat away, Ambra! Imagine the great fun I'm having over here in New York!!! My job's post-election pool is: What job will Claudio have in the Bush Administration? Now let's hope Bush stays humble and changes course a bit. Now is not the time to get high and mighty. Claudio Posted by: Claudio at November 3, 2004 08:15 AM Where are these supposed polled people? I got exit-polled in 2000, so I know from direct experience that it does happen to normal people from time to time. The sample was, I believe, 12,000 people out of 120,000,000 voters, so your chances of being polled or knowing someone who is are vanishingly small. Posted by: Mike at November 3, 2004 02:44 PM Very nice assembly of photos. I love the last one especially, although that shot of the Obamas should win multiple awards. My relief has already given way to panic, tomorrow my daughter turns 6, and I have spent all day baking her cake (two full-sugar white layers, one low-carb, dairy-free chocolate layer) which will be decorated tomorrow while she is in school. I'm grateful that the Lord has seen fit to lift the burden of following politics from my shoulders at this most opportune moment. :) Posted by: Joan at November 3, 2004 04:33 PM THe last picture is how I felt at 2:30 AM knowing I had to be upon at 5:30 and go to work. :( Posted by: Ray Phelps at November 3, 2004 05:31 PM If pollsters are take 12,000 out of 120,000,000 voters don't you think that's a cooky percentage? (Hey Beau, you to see you're in the land of the living) Posted by: Ambra at November 4, 2004 06:50 AM Oh and hey Amber! Welcome. Nice name ;-) Posted by: Ambra at November 4, 2004 06:51 AM |

Yeah! Where are these supposed polled people?! I've never known anyone to be polled or have known anyone that knows someone that is polled.
Maybe you are right, that the people polled are drunken college students, but somehow that just doesn't seem to fit. (shrugs)
I love this blog of yours, and I love your rules.
I found you off of dooce.com, just in case you are wondering.
And my hubby and I are calling it a win, too. Go Bush! :)
Love in Christ,
