IMAO BLOG - I Love the Smell of a Decisive Victory in the Morning
There are my liveblogging posts scattered like confetti over my site.

It's funny how FOX, which was the last to give Bush Florida, is still like the only one to give him Ohio. Then there are the other news organizations:

"Election Up in the Air!"

"It's 2000 All Over Again!"

Yeah, whatever. If I were Bush, I'd be like, "Know what? I'll just keep being president while you try to pull a few hundred thousand votes out of your ass."

Anyway, I think everyone needs to congratulate us Floridians for the 300,000 vote victory. I think we get the reward for "Most Improved Since 2000."

Oh, and Betty Castor hasn't conceded to Mel Martinez yet, but I'm busy planning the happy dance.

Frankly, I think my endorsement helped put Bush over the top. The message from the people with the majority vote to Bush (Clinton never even got that - oh, and good work in Arkansas, BTW, Bill), the gain in the Senate (and I'm saddened to hear we won't have Daschle to kick around anymore), and the gain in the House was a clear message from the American people that they want more tax cuts and dead terrorists. As for the latter, I'm going to indulge myself in a serious essay on that topic a little later. I know you all want the victory In My World™ - and that will be coming - but I have a few important things to say first. I wish I could just squeal in partisan glee over all this, but it's 2004, not 2000, and things have changed.

Anyway, I would just like to end this little rant with: America, @#$% Yeah!

Why doesn’t everyone put their impression on the win in the comments. I'll try to get some words from my brother who is heading to Iraq about the same time Kerry is being inaugurated president in some distant, dark alternate universe.

For now, I'm just going to sit in peaceful serenity (and get some work done). Be honorable, ronin.

UPDATE: One more thing: looks like the MSM can't deliver a victory even with all their combined but now feeble powers.

No doubt. Consider this, in 2000 Bush received 50,456,169 votes. In 2004 (thus far) Bush has received 58,320,992. The "get out the vote" effort by the Bush team nailed nearly 8 million new voters.

Put another way, 8 MILLION more Americans voted for George W Bush.
