Some people really are sorry and some aren’t. What can you do?
这是2004年总统选举揭晓后双方选民对Bush连任的不同反映。sorryeverbody.com的几千张图片代表了49% blue American的心声: “America proudly re-appointed her reckless, incompetent and corrupt government. How much of America? Fifty-two percent. The rest of us are aghast and dismayed. The world needs to understand that there are people in America who don’t like what our government is doing.” 在浏览该网站的时候,摘抄了一些录入如下:
- 49% of Americans aren’t happy either. Sorry guys.
- My vote never had a chance here in Kentucky. So very sorry.
- I’m from Ohio. I voted for Kerry. So did my village. SOrry it wasn’t enough.
- Sorry world. At least you don’t have to live with him.
- Sorry World! Some of us in Georgia really did try!
- Not all Texans like Bush… Sorry from 38% of Texas.
- Sorry to the rest of planet earth. From the other 42% of South Carolina. We really DID try.
- Sorry, mankind.
- We are not only sorry – but are embarrassed as well! We do love the world!
- First I wanted to cry, then I wanted to move, now I want to fight. Sorry world. Don’t give upon us. We need your support now more than ever!
Non-American的回音:

其实说是4年,民主党也只有两年时间准备一位强力候选人了。Al Gore虽然宣布还要参选,不过我看成为候选人可能性很小;Kerry和Edwards似乎还有意继续,但是Kerry作为东北部候选人对中部和南部的号召力实在不够,同理Hillary也够戗,而Edwards政治经验还显太嫩。而且也有人指出(我之前也有这种看法),Senator没有Governor有号召力和说服力,民主党应该在各个州长里面寻找适合人选——不知道我们Virignia的Mark Warner有没有可能一试。看来看去,只能长叹一声:为什么上帝不再赐给民主党一个Bill Clinton!
