Personally, I don't feel bad at all for anyone, especially the democrats and those people who voted for Kerry. How pathetic is the Democratic party and the people who support this party when they couldn't a) elect a worthy enough candidate to vote out an illiterate religious zealot and more importantly b) realize that voting is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to democracy and not the end all of end all.
In a democracy, which is supposed to represent the will of the people, the people have a responsability to ensure that their voices, desires, ideals and so forth are heard, and thus, it's what you do in between elections that counts much more than what you do at the elections. If you want to blame anyone for Bush being elected, blame yourselves Democrats. You clearly didn't do enough in the 4 years between elections, while the Republicans did. The proof is in the election result. Feeling sorry for someone usually entails that this someone didn't deserve their fate. This is not the case here and there's no one to blame but yourselves.
