Election day has come and gone

My mom: "So who won?"

Me: "It looks like Bush."

My mom: "What!? But he's not good!"

Me: "It doesn't matter if you're good."

I was about to say, "It only matters if you're popular", but I suppose it can't be that simple. Then again, there must be some reason that there was so much political propaganda in this year's race. If this tactic didn't work, then we would not have seen so much of it.
