The Left Coaster: 2004 Election: Giddy with Optimism

Another blogger sees signs of hope: The Left Coaster: 2004 Election - Giddy with Optimism

Schadenfreude, or taking joy in the suffering of others, is not the Dove's preferred emotion. But in this case I make an exception, feeling that the mainstream media and a growing number of Americans are beginning to wake up, if just a little. I am not happy that George Bush is suffering. I am happy that the rest of the country notices the suffering he has caused.

That a man with Senator Kerry's experience might unseat the incumbent makes me giddy with optimism, too.
