[lbo-talk] popularity votes have spoken

[Tommy Kelly]

Latest check on CNN website says:  Bush  58,360,008 __  Kerry  
54,842,785.  This time the Democratic Party cannot use the old argument: 
"If people would only get out and vote..."  This year that was the case 
and it still showed how weak that argument is.  Bush is ahead by a mere 
3,517,223 votes.  As I said in the last election - albeit on another 
board - that is should be a clue to both parties that their platform is 
weak.  The only thing I'm concerned about this-time-around is the 
reaction internationally.  Could it be that this reincarnation of Rome 
is ready to start crumbing?  Could the Asian markets be planning an 
economic coup against us?  [Recall the article a few issues back in  
LBO  #106... don't have the article on hand right now though.]  Shit if 
I know.
