While obviously I voted for Bush this a.m., I am not concerned about the results, even though they seem favorable to Bush at the present moment, because it is going to be very difficult for Kerry to screw things up if he gets elected. The job defines the person, not the other way around, and I think that this is seen best in Bush's transformation since 9/11 from a somewhat mediocre President into what I consider to be a pretty good wartime leader. Kerry will surely go through such a transformation, too, if [god forbid] he is elected.

I worry more about the effect on the Kerry supporters of a Bush reelection since they seem on the whole to be a lot more passionate and, frankly, rabid than the Bush supporters. We may see some civil disobedience and maybe a bit of rioting, particularly in the West Coast, where Bush is irrationally hated. The effect of a W reelection on this bunch of Kerry supporters is going to be traumatic and ultimately divisive to the Nation.
