Election Projection

The world seems a lot different than it did back in 2000. On that election night I stayed up until 2 or 3 am hoping to find out conclusively who would be the winner. At the time, it was extremely frustrating and a little scary knowing that Al Gore might become President.

If I had seen into the future; the attacks on 9/11, the upsurge in terrorist attacks overseas and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, I would've been terrified at the possibility of a President Gore. Now, the USA is engaged in what some have aptly called a World War. The prospect of a President Kerry is even more terrifying.

I've cast my vote and it was for George W. Bush. There wasn't any voter intimidation in my polling place. We're pretty much a Bush town (and we'd like to keep it that way) and everyone was on their best behavior.

It will be a late night at Army of One Central. I'll stay up until I'm reasonably sure of the results of this election. Hopefully we'll know the results and I'll be able to sleep a lot easier knowing that President Bush will be our leader for four more years. If not, then I'll still sleep okay with the knowledge that our democracy has proven to be extremely resilient. Yes, there might be tough years ahead, but this is only one battle. Besides, Kerry doesn't appear to have any core principles. It seems that all his decisions are based on polls so if he wins, I think our country will survive him - if we must.

Still, I'll be really glad when this is all over.

I'll be on a blogging hiatus for a while after election day. If I decide to continue blogging, I'll probably focus a lot less on politics. I'm sick of politics.
