Pre Election Day I had no idea, not even an inkling that Bush might win. It was a very strange feeling to wake up and realize that Kerry would not be our president for the next four years. It reminded me of when I used to wake up in strange people’s houses after a weekend of partying and have no idea of where I was.

Usually, I’m a sore loser. It’s not like I throw dirt in the other person’s eyes or anything but I do mutter to myself about how I got gypped. And this election was about so many important things that I can’t believe how gypped we got. But somewhere in the back of my head, I hear my mother telling me that once it’s done, it’s done, as long as it was fair and square.

So now I have to try to support a man I don’t believe in because I do believe in America.

My kids, who told me that they would have voted for Bush if they were old enough, need to see me being solidly behind our president. One of my sons told me the reason he would have voted for Bush: ‘Because I already know what kind of guy and what kind of dumb things he does. I don’t know about that other guy.’

Stunning.
