The view so far

This could change, of course, but so far here's what this election has yielded:
  • Bush has gained in the popular vote
  • Bush is the first President since 1988 to be elected with more than 50% of the popular vote
  • Bush has the largest number of votes of any President in history
  • Bush has increased his percentage in every state except 4
  • Bush has gained in the Electoral College
  • Republicans have gained 4 Senate seats
  • Republicans have gained 4 House seats
  • Republicans may gain one governorship
  • Almost every conservative ballot measure passed - including all the ones opposing gay marriage
  • Daschle - gone!
  • Edwards - gone!
Republicans have won in every measurable way. So many people deserve credit: Rove, SwiftVets, etc. .... but especially Bush.
