John Kerry hasn't spoken yet - I expect some pablum about the country coming together and healing, but I'll be pleasantly surprised if he doesn't cave in to the conventional concession speech wisdom. My hopes aren't high.
Right now, I've been listening to CNN, something I almost never do, but I'm waiting to hear from Kerry. They say Bush wants to establish his "mandate".
I don't know if I'll continue to be a Democrat - certainly I won't if Terry McAuliffe stays in place, the party loses what little spine it's developed, or if it drifts in the DLC direction. I don't know if I'll stay politically active. At the moment, I'm not sure I want to remain in this country.
I'll be doing one last round of emails to the media about the one thing I do know:
NO MANDATE!
