i am american and voted for nader, because he's the only candidate that wants to pull out of iraq, the only anti-war, peace president.

Should Americans vote or is it meant to reflect the non-US opinion?

I am an American citizen..but of indian origins. I voted Kerry. Oh well..It doesnt look good right now...But I did my civic duty and my state did go to Kerry...so that gives me some satisfaction..

I am not surprised that the non usa citizens here voted in majority for Kerry...sigh....


Hope for the best for 2008..till then....sigh

Too many naive young Americans are used to go to war in the name of democracy/American Imperialism! If there are any candidates who vote for peace then you have my vote!

doesn't really matter anymore, whom votes for whom. Bush has deep roots in the white house and he doesn't plan on letting go no matter what.
we are in deep shit and I am in such a shock that he won again. this is unbelievable.
what are you guys thinking? this is beyond my comprehension?

but you know that saying: stupidity is a much more headache to understand than intelligence.

I am as well shocked and even alittle frigtened, the idea of Bush being in the White House for another 4 years, with what he has done in the past four years, well let's just hope that he can turn things around.

My prayer is that the best man win, but my opinion and my fear is that he has not. My vote to Kerry. I'm not so sure I want him for president either, but I felt it more important to vote against Bush rather than afford the luxury of making a "statement", that is, voting for Nader. Our great shame is all the people who didn't bother to vote at all...

I didn't vote for bush or kerry, but bush is the better choice by far. He can protect America far better than Kerry.
I never understood why the Europeans hate Bush, maybe it's jealousy ... for rapidly losing their status in the world.

Doubt it!

Everyone should check out this small video, since the Libertarian Party candidate was not amongst the choices: http://badnarik.org/interview_9news.php

was the election won by bush?

someones trying to be provacative: so, my twopence: there os evidence of widespread fraud:

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/2004votefraud.html

FLORIDA – 8 p.m.


In Broward County in Florida, two voters complained that when they tried to select for Kerry, the electronic machine kept selecting for Bush. After several tries they were able to select their chosen candidate.

NEW MEXICO – 8 p.m.

In Bernalillo County, N.M., a number of voters reported that when they attempted to select for Kerry the electronic machine selected the libertarian presidential candidate instead. After several tries and notifying poll workers, they were able to record their chosen candidate but they expressed concern about the accuracy of the machines.

etc
