"A Problem Page For All!"

I went to bed late Tuesday night thinking that we would've have results until ten days hence, when they'd open all those sealed ballots in Ohio. I was having a leisurely Wednesday morning, trying to relax, and reading your letter, Caitsy, which arrived on Wednesday, by the way, when the news came on the radio and they announced tha Kerry was conceding. That's how I felt betrayed by him, by the way -- that he wouldn't even stick around and fight, but just conceeded the minute he figured he'd lost. What a freaking wuss. I'm still very angry at him.

How I reacted? I had prepared myself for another four years with Bush, so that wasn't the problem so much as that I felt let down by Kerry. I will fight to the ends of the earth for someone, but if I feel like s/he isn't pulling his part of the deal, that's it. Quits. I have zero tolerance for spineless nincompoops. I feel like Kathy Bates' character in Primary Colors. Have any of you seen that film? Kathy is willing to fight to the death for her beloved Democratic Presidential candidate (clearly supposed to be Clinton, by the way), but when she finds out that he's done something she can't accept, she just collapses. It's so sad, and I know it's pitiful to feel like that, but I do.
