Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive November 2004: Kerry speech
fyi - most Boston area stations are saying Kerry will be speaking around 1p.
hmmm... I haven't heard that yet. I have been hearing that they are still deciding what they are going to do!! I did hear that Bush has decided to speak and was going to do it this morning, but decided to give Kerry some time to conceed first.
He has just conceded.
This is horrible, IMO. We just watched the breaking news on CNN, and I think Kerry gave up without a fight, which disappoints me.
I just heard it on TV too! I am glad he isn't fighting it. I think it is a very smart move. Whew.. it is finally OVER!!
AP-Bush Wins Race as Kerry Concedes
I think that Kerry conceding speaks to what great character he has. Rather than putting the country in limbo for days or even weeks he has chosen to concede.
I have to say that I agree it shows GREAT character. I wonder if kerry supporters agree? We should do a poll!
I guess I can agree that I thank Kerry very much for not putting us through the chaos of the 2000 election. Who knows, maybe he'll run in 2008? Can he? I don't know, i'm new to this politics stuff
I agree that he is handling it well, but believe me, if he thought he had a chance to win, he wouldn't give up. He just knows there is NO WAY that the provisional votes here in Ohio will do it. Almost all of them would have to be valid, (HIGHLY unlikely) and then almost all of those would have to be for Kerry, which is even MORE unlikely.
2008? Hillary...you watch!
LOL Janet!! First Woman President! I dunno, if she ran that would be very scary, I don't want this country in her hands!
I can see Kerry running again, and I can see Hilary running, but not winning (I really don't think America is ready for a woman president--not my personal view, but America as a whole). I can see Schwarzenegger running if they change the law like they're trying to. I guees we have four years to think about it, although who ever's going to run doesn't.
I'm glad that Bush won
Oh boy...Hillary, now there is a thought!! Yikes.
Scary thought!
I can see Hillary running, but really do we want Mr clinton back in the white house? The first gentlemen...LOL. He did some great things as pres, but also did some not so great things, I think it is hard to forget those. Maybe hillary as VP?
I think that Rudy Giuliani (sp???) would be a great choice for our country in 2008. Although I know nothing about politics, I just like his character. Yeah for Bush!!
Very graceful concession speech.
I am watching it now, it was very heart felt & warming.
I agree with you Joelle.
He really did a great job with the speech. It's never easy to lose.
Can't stand Giuliani and I like Bush even less. However, the democratic process worked and the people have spoken. I hope America is happy with their choice.
I am so glad the commercials are over! My 4 year old has been going around saying, "Hello, I'm George Bush. Hello, I'm John Kerry and I approve of this message"!
LOL Amy...hopefully your 4 year old will quit doing that soon.
LOL Amy.. I think I would have to scream at that!!
Hillary can't do any worse than Bush...JMO.
Amyj, that's too cute!
I'm happy with the results. I'm proud of Kerry for doing the right thing.
Thank God Bush is in again.
I am also glad that bush is in again. they are probably setting hillary to run in 08, but I won't vote for her and she probably won't get elected.
I don't want Hillary in charge of our country. If people think that we have problems now...just wait. If she gets elected....we will need help.
Well...I would vote for Hillary if she ran. I'd like to see her on the ballot as the vice-presidential candidate in 2008. I'm not sure why her being elected is such a scary thought???
You can see the videos of both speeches at cnn.com.
I would loooove to see Hillary run, PROVIDED she LEFT the senate in order to campaign, and then LOST the election. Hillary is MY senator and I don't like her one bit, so I'd really like to see her disappear entirely.
I am extremely happy about the results. I have taken so much time to educate myself this election about the issues, each candidate's stand on the issues, etc. I also voted for the first time this election. I read articles, watched news reports for hours and hours each week. Not a day passed by that I didn't educate myself just a little about this election. So, I can actually say that I confidently voted for George W. Bush - because I honestly felt he was the best choice for president.
I agree that Kerry showed good character by conceding. I didn't get to see the speech because I was at work and then had class. Had it dragged on, I think it would have sent our economy into yet another tailspin. I'm VERY disappointed that Bush won- and quite frightened for the future of our country and the state of the world to be quite honest. And I would definitely vote for Hillary should she run. If she were against Gulianni (sp?) I would have a tough time choosing however!
I am thinking it's going to be Obama or Hillary and Gulianni or Mitt.
Laura, I would vote for Hillary, though I don't think the country is "ready" for a female president. Giuliani is one of the few Republicans I would EVER vote for, and I would be much happier to welcome him into office than ANY Bush. It's going to be a sad state of affairs for our country for the next 4 years, and I wonder how many people will be still praising Bush by the time it's all over.

I really didn't have much of a doubt about Bush winning since about 9 pm before bed. Another 4 years... yay!
