No, I had already decided to look at the bright side if Kerry had won. This "sky is falling" stuff that I'm hearing from the Kerry supporters is a little over the top if you ask me.
Bush's flaws have been on full display for four years. Kerry was a complete unknown (being virtually invisible in his 20-year career in the Senate). To assume that once Kerry had the keys to the White House that we wouldn't then find out that he also has quite a few flaws (whatever they might be) is too much to ask.
I just don't think you can automatically assume that America under Kerry would have been that much better than America under Bush when Kerry is a complete unknown quantity. For all I know, he'd make a great president. But, I don't like being confused when trying to figure out what a guy stands for and with Kerry, I was twisted into a knot trying to figure out what he would do in a given situation. Bush is a known quantity and, for all his flaws, I and many others went with a less-than-perfect known quantity over a completely unknown quantity.
You can say I made a bad choice and I can stick up for myself but in the end - 4 years from now - I still think well be ok no matter which candidate would have prevailed. Allow yourself to look at the bright side - like not having to look at Tuh-REY-zuh for 4 years
