2004 election WINNERS & LOSERS
While we all know which candidates won the 2004 election, I have a few other winners and losers that need to be noted:
Illinois Republican Party – LOSER
The Republican Party in Illinois is in serious trouble. The slate needs wiped clean and an entire new program needs to be built. Judy Baar Topinka needs to step aside and let someone else come in and rescue this sinking Titanic.
Talk Radio-WINNER
Talk radio stepped up to the plate and hit big homeruns this election season. The voice of the mostly conservative radio hosts was heard. This is becoming a more powerful voice in politics. Talk Radio is offering a different perspective than the mainstream media. It’s a force to be reckoned with.
Youth Vote-LOSER
Why can't we get more than 20 percent of the 18-30 bracket out to vote. MTV, Vote or Die, P Diddy, The Boss, Bon Jovi....sorry guys; they may like your music, but it doesn't take them to the polls. Most young adults fail to voice their choice. Don't complain in the next four years...
Bloggers-WINNER
They may not be 100 percent trustworthy, but their winners in ’04 because of its amazing growth in the political process, New voices are being heard in an uncensored environment that isn’t controlled by advertising or industry politics.
CNN-LOSER
I can’t believe CNN made such a big deal about calling Ohio a “green state” and refused to make a call toward Bush. They hide behind accuracy, but I believe it’s a smoke screen for its connection to the Democratic Party. They couldn’t deal with the truth…tried to keep Kerry alive as long as they could. In the end, they appear weak and closely connected to the democrats.
Traditional Values-WINNER
America’s sweeping vote for Bush shows an enormous geographical mass of people who care about family values and conservative morals. It’s encouraging to see a stance for conservative values. Their votes were heard loud and clear.
Exit Polls-LOSER
Egg on face for all these pollsters that think they have the inside info on elections. I’d love to see their faces and hear their conversations when Florida was called for Bush. I wonder who has to explain to Kerry why at 5 p.m. Tuesday his people were dancing in the streets, and then by 11 p.m. their was stilled silence.
Hollywood-LOSER
You are good actors. You are not political scientists. Your voice is a whisper in the political world. In 2008 just shut up and do your job...make us laugh and cry on the silver screen.
Democracy-WINNER
America showed the world that more than 100 million people can vote, and less than 24 hours later can have an outcome. No violence. No major corruption. No legal crud. People’s voices were heard. Let the model of democracy be heard around the world.
