Heh heh heh. I'm sitting here at the computer with ye olde Red Sox hat on, and Carl Cameron just said something funny, noting that Senator Kerry walked under a banner that said something about "CONGRATULATIONS BOSTON RED SOX" and how Boston was hoping for back to back victories.
Cue Warner Wolf: If you had the Red Sox in four games, you won. If you had the Red Sox and John Kerry, YOU LOST! Heh heh heh. It was good that Boston won because they used up all of that city's luck prior to the election. Hooray!
Anyways, liveblogging will now commence.
1354: Hrrm, I've been to this place, Faneuil Hall. The Kerry family is out there; Senator Kerry now out on the podium with Edwards.
1357: Every vote matters, blah blah every vote counts, yeah yeah, I hear Mike Ditka's still counting fourth-and-inches from some game back in the 1980s. Keep it up, Edwards.
1400: What's this "fight has just begun" stuff? You lost. Get out. It's over. You had almost two years to begin your fight. Cripes, that's ridiculous. I didn't miss anything to vote, and it took me all of about ten minutes.
1403: Yay, he says 'idear'. I like that.
1405 Enough about group hugs and wrapping arms around everyone. That's not a manly thing to say, Senator. Steel your considerable jaw and say, "Well, we lost."
1408: All the kids were there every step of the way, including that one daughter who wore the see-through top at Cannes or somewhere. Here we go, mentioning Vietnam, his "great band of brothers". Senator, I watched Richard Winters. I liked Richard Winters. You sir are no Richard Winters.
1412: Senator, mentioning kids who give from their piggy banks to your campaign is trite, when men like George Soros have essentially underwritten your effort. Admittedly, I wouldn't talk about Soros either if I was in Kerry's shoes.
1414: Augh, hearing him say that he wishes he could have brought the race home hurts. I hate seeing candidates say things like that, because I know it's a painful thing to do. I am, however, appreciative of Senator Kerry's remarks towards reconciliation, as opposed to a Dean-style theory of warfare.
1417: An announcement of his continuance in the Senate? Possibly.
1420: John Hillen of National Review provides an interesting summary.
1425: Well, that's over. Enough of this sordid electioneering, and back to the more important things. Priority number one: Slaughter our enemies and meet them with the unified and ruthless force that this Republic is capable of generating. Secondly, improve the moral health of the nation, where possible for the President, and hope that we can maintain the favor of Almighty God. Thirdly, improve our economy so that food banks and food pantries are rarely needed, and to the point that our States have lesser need for welfare rolls.
I'll borrow from Senator Kerry's short prayer: "God bless America."
