It's Really Over

The Only Votes That Really Count

Wonkette's mystery guest blogger reminds us that today is the day John Kerry's chances of becoming president in January move from extraordinarily slim to exactly none. As he says, "President Bush's second term will take one more step toward becoming reality as the Electoral College votes. The first step, of course, was that whole voting thing back in November; the last step is when the new Republican Congress makes failure to remove those KE '04 bumper stickers by Inauguration Day a crime punishable by death."

In a sign of how desperate for good news Democrats are right now, he also says this: "All this blue-state ire is cute, but really, we think Dems should just look on the bright side and be glad Bush operatives didn't take a page from Ukraine and poison Kerry during the campaign. Although actually, maybe that would have helped?"

Yep. "USA: Better at Democracy Than Ukraine!" Looks like we've got ourselves a slogan.
