Bush in, Kerry out, Hilary next?

This is not meant to be a political blog, just my personal views on the US elections even though I am not a US citizen but the repercussions are heavy on the world when terrorism is an important issue.

Bush won with a 51% popular votes and an unconvincing 284 (estimated) electoral votes over Kerry 242 (estimated) electoral votes. Personally I feel that the electoral vote system (winner takes all) is not a great system and should be subjected to some fine-tuning.

I have hoped for a Bush win as Kerry does not seems to be a better choice. He looks unconvincing on the war against terrorism and he looks more intending in resolving Bush's problems created in the past 4 years rather than building a new hope. If there is any letup on the war against terrorism, even if he can recover the economy better than Bush, a terror strike will destroy whatever he has built up.

It is a case of not supporting Bush but rather Bush than Kerry. Simply, I am not favouring Kerry and the only other viable option is Bush.
