"Let us hope that the left and those that fell victim to the pathetic Anybody But Bush epidemic this year abandon such doctrine in elections to come. Not only was it poor reasoning, it in fact helped re-elect George W. Bush. Sadly, Kerry was only accountable to the Party bigwigs, and not those voters and citizens on the ground. Had he been the popular vote spread would not be over 3.5 million votes. At least this time around Bush's victory is not illegitimate. He won by knock-out. Kerry and his supporters should be ashamed."
