John Kerry called George W. Bush to concede defeat. This is being reported by all major media websites, including FOXNew.com, CNN.com, MSNBC, CBSNews.com, ABC News, BBC News …

It’s also being reported on all the top blogs… Instapundit.com, The Command Post, Drudge Report, etc.

So I guess… George W. Bush has been re-elected to the office of the President of United States.

Or like Rodger Morrow has expressed it so well…

First President Bush was misunderestimated.

Now he has been unredefeated.

God bless America!!

Update:
Here is the text of John Kerry’s concession speech.

A few months back, the Best Bakery case was opened for re-trial outside Gujarat. This happened after prime-witness Zaheera Shaikh, prodded by pinko, Teesta Setalvad and her NGO, sought re-trial on the grounds that she had been intimidated into lying before the court in the course of the original trial.

This may seem like a reasonable scenario. But since the re-trial opened, Setalvad had taken control of Zaheera and her family. She repeatedly refused to let the Vadodra police meet Zaheera to get her statement regarding the complaint that she had received death threats during the original Best Bakery trial. The police had issued over 15 summons to meet Zaheera but not once had they been able to contact her because of Teesta Setalvad’s tactics.

Finally… after much tribulations, the re-trial opened in a special Mazagaon court on October 5, 2004. Since then, a couple of witnesses have ‘identified‘ the accused in court. But the second of those witnesses has already weakened the case by admitting later that he had held back information during his deposition and that some information had ’slipped his mind’ (in our pinko sister, Teesta’s, words).

And now, in an unexpected turn of events today, Zaheera Shaikh has accused Teesta Setalvad of pressurizing her into making statements.

Amidst all the confusion over the conflicting news reports playing all over the news channels, regarding Ohio’s verdict, one piece of news is a downer!!

The start of the final Test match between India and Australia has been delayed due to unseasonal November rain, back in Mumbai! :-(

Instapundit felt it. And so did I!

My webhost, HostingMatters (or HostMatters, if you will) experienced a downtime earlier today as the US Presidential elections brought about a huge surge in traffic on the Net. And I’m sure this would’ve affected a great lot of hosts out there.

Hopefully… by the time I wake up, the traffic would’ve subsided to some extent. It pained me to see my blog take so long to load.

By the way, at this time, Bush has taken 4 states to Kerry’s 1 Kerry has overtaken Bush as he has taken 9 states to Bush’s 7, even as the Democrats are running with a loss of 3 electoral votes. And pollsters are still chickening out of predicting who’ll take Ohio
