I think you captured the feeling perfectly with your analogy.
JOHN KERRY WILL WIN THE ELECTION TONIGHT

Hmmm. I didn't hear that? Did he? Or did he LOSE?

I'm a little depressed right now to answer you, but I'll try.
Although it is statistically possiible for Kerry to win Ohio, I see that it is statistically unlikely that he will do so... so I (as a Kerry supporter) see that Bush has been re-elected. However, I do agree that Kerry owes it to his supporters and donnors to make sure every ballot is counted... to much time, money, and effort has been put into this.
I was really confident that Kerry would win and that's why I kept posting all those "Kerry will win tonight!" posts. But you have to be confident in your candidate. In order to "sell" your "product", you have to have confidence in it yourself. Same goes with trying to "sell" Kerry to everyone around me. Unfortunately, the majority of voters did not feel like did.
I agree with some of your other post that the presidency doesn't really come into play into everyday life... http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?topic=60912.0 I agree with the part about going about doing your shit and strengthening the relationships that truly matter (friends, family, co workers, etc.)... but I disagree that it doesn't affect your everyday life... some policies do affect you directly in the everyday life.
Anyway, this is the beauty of our country... we can speak up, disagree, communicate, and move forward. I feel that Kerry was the better person for the job, but it looks like he lost (I can admit that proudly... I don't go around trying to make excuses). Now it's time to finish counting every single vote, move forward with the result, make America stronger, and continue to hold our elected official accountable for their decisions.
Props to everyone on both sides for keeping our Democracy going.
