DougR, relief without gloating is acceptable to me too. IF Bush should win decisively, I would throw up my hands and have to think about what I want to do or where I want to be for the next four years.

If Kerry wins election decisively, I will be highly pleased with the American people.

However, I won't feel like gloating- even with a Kerry win, it's sobering to realize how very much will have to be done before the bush 'legacy' can be dismantled and any real progress is possible.
