We're fucked. Never thought I'd see a civil war in my lifetime.
While there is still a possibility of a Kerry win (many states are within the margin of error), it doesn't look good.
I can't bring myself to be angry or much of anything else. I'm just sad in a detatched sort of way. All of that effort and for what? I've started writing my next real post; but finishing it will likely require more anger than I can marshal right now.
I feel like all hope has been drained out of me. I look to the future and cannot see anything but a United States is worse condition in four years.
News reports are suggesting that Kerry has conceeded by phone call to Bush and will announce his concession publically this afternoon.
Fuck.
I continue to lack any hope for the country.
On the up side, the void left by the hope is being filled with deep, deep anger.
*sigh*

It is done.
The silver lining on the acid rain cloud:
Baldwin crushed Magnum 63% to 37%. My district continues to show the love for real liberal values.
Feingold comfortably beat Michaels 56% to 44%. My state continues to support real moderates capable of working across party lines to accomplish things.
