I find the popular vote surprising as well. Wonder how much the markets getting goosed in the last 2 weeks had to do with overall sentiment. I don't think this is a reflection on Bush as much as I do think what a poor choice Kerry was for the Dems as the nominee. I think Bush is absolutely terrible. But I had a hard time rallying around Kerry. Young voters better hope that we don't have a flare up in another country lest a draft get imposed. Wonder how many young people voted.
