Bull Moose Predictions

If Kerry wins, Democrats should luxuriate in the triumph, but the Moose warns his donkey friends not to let down their guard. The elephant will not take the loss lying down.

So says Bull Moose

.....the Moose has a premonition what will happen if Kerry is victorious.

In short, if Kerry wins, Republicans will move on Wednesday to delegitimize his victory. The Moose is not necessarily referring to ballot challenges, although that will likely occur. What the Moose is referring to is an attempt by the vast right wing conspiracy (take the Moose's word - he was there and Hillary was exactly right about this term) will seek to strangle the Democratic Presidency in its crib.

What Kerry must do is get some Republicans on his side and not do really stupid things and then lie about it.

It is therefore imperative that a newly-elected President Kerry immediately send a message that his new administration will be one of national unity. He will need to find Republican allies and place them on his transition team. And the Kerry team must be disciplined so as to not provide the right with easy targets.
