Kerry's conceded; President Bush will speak to America at 3pm. Naturally, the slime-balls in the liberal media insist America's divided; no mandate; must govern bi-partisan.

Nonsense.

If Kerry had won, however narrowly, it would have been a proclaimed a mandate to exit Iraq, to remake the Supreme Court, to void the abortion gag rule, etc. Since that didn't occur, Bush's re-election is a mandate for the opposite.

Once I heard Kerry's concession, I bolted to the airport. But before I left, I made sure the Supervisor of Elections reviewed and released our complaints described earlier. And now that the complaint is public, I can confirm that the source of intimidation at precinct 19 was the NAACP.

Homeward bound in an hour. Looking forward to it.

President Bush speaking in Washington after Kerry conceded

Still More:

The Wall Street Journal on Thursday:

We trust that the President will not now let those same opponents interpret his mandate for him. The effort is already under way to diminish the victory by insisting that Mr. Bush "move to the center," which is code for giving up the agenda that voters just endorsed. The country remains "deeply divided," we are told, so Mr. Bush is obliged to make concessions to Nancy Pelosi and George Soros.

Yet it wasn't Mr. Bush but Senate Democrats whose obstructionism was repudiated on Tuesday.

But Wait, There's More:

Norman Geras agrees:

Had John Kerry won on Tuesday, you can be confident of one thing. This would have been widely hailed by left, liberal or progressive opinion as a triumph and vindication of American democracy, with the intensity of political interest and passion and the high turnout revealing the continued health and vibrancy of that polity, and the result yielding for the President-elect a mandate and legitimacy beyond all possible question. Instead, what we got in some of these quarters . . . was not just the kind of expression of dismay which anyone on the losing side of an important political battle is entitled to, but a miserable, self-indulgent wailing, the content of which displayed for all the world to see a depth of contempt towards millions and millions of American voters that disgraced all those who gave it head room. These millions of Americans had had the cheek to vote otherwise than the liberal way dictated.
