I already blame the dems for running such a poor candidate, IMO - a man who is wooden, out of touch with ordinary people, and lacks charisma. Those are not characteristics that I seek in a candidate, but they are the characteristics that the electorate want, and in order to get rid of Bush (the most important goal), the Dems should have run someone who would fit the electorate's tastes. I absolutely agree with Kendall's 10:07 post -- but with one caveat: if the US re-elects (or if Diebold re-selects) Bush, the US is doomed. It is going down anyway, as have all major powers throughout history (China next!), but Bush will cause the decline to accelerate radically. IMO of course!
