Well, it's official. No recount required. jOhn from Hull is more popular on Mudcat than Kerry. This is despite the howls of a few Kerry-loving, jOhn-hating individuals who seem to comprise a very small but vociferous minority here. Bush is, of course, less popular than either jOhn from Hull OR Kerry, but we all knew that.

It's an undeniable fact that jOhn from Hull has won this Mudcat election. Now live with it.
