I just read this statement and I think it is the best election statement I have heard thus far no matter what you believe:
Joe Scarborough (from Hardball):
"I get so sick and tired of hearing people talking about two Americas. I'm not talking about health care and all that, I'm just talking about a divided America.
I'll tell you, there is one America. I've made people angry this entire campaign, whether it was going after John Kerry's speech or George Bush's performance in the debate. But I can tell you, regardless of whoever wins Tuesday, America will be strong Wednesday morning.
Anybody that's been through this process has to know that both of these gentlemen have been through a brutalizing process. They are heroes. They should be applauded as heroes. Regardless of what happens, we move forward. I do not believe we live in two Americas.
I went to the Democratic Convention and everybody said, “Gee, you're going to get ripped to shreds.” But I had people coming up, hugging me, saying, “I love watching your show. I love hearing you talk about the issues. “
Listen, John Kerry is not going to take us out of Iraq the next day. John Kerry is not going to raise taxes 100 percent. George Bush is not going to move us sharply to the right or the left. We've had Michael Moore on the left -- and we've had others on the right that have made a lot of money by trying to scare Americans in the middle. People have used division as a marketing tool to sell books, to sell movies, to sell hate speech.
But we've got two responsible men running for president of the United States. And this is a celebration. This is why I love America so much. "
