I'm interested in politics, but I wouldn't call it emotionally interested. In fact, I have to admit that I get a bigger charge out of debates on this site than I do when I'm watching results come in.
When those exit polls showed a clear Kerry advantage I was wondering how this site would be the next day. If that came through I think I'd be pretty calm about Kerry in the Whitehouse, but would be watching and hoping he wouldn't pull back on foreign policy and go back to an era where we pretty much ignore what's happening in that region.
Both men were decent human beings that would make decent presidents ... neither guy is what I'd call a natural leader, or true statesman, but I guess that's besides the point.
