is that the system worked.

There were no tanks on the streets.

This peaceful transfer of power

in the most emotional

and trying of times

is a testament to the strength

of the Constitution

and to our faith

in the rule of law.

It took a long time getting here...

but here's to George W. Bush,

the 43rd President of The United States.

Hear hear!

We should have asked

for a statewide from the get-go.

That was our biggest mistake.

And Ralph Nader should've

pulled his head out of his ass.

And Elian Gonzales

should've never left Miami.

And Gore should've

campaigned with Clinton.

And Clinton should've got

caught getting a blow job

from Sharon Stone instead of

Monica Lewinsky 'cause then his approval

would have shot through the roof.

And Katherine Harris should've thought

twice about purging 20,000 voters

from the rolls.

And George Bush, jr.,

should have never

quit drinking, but he did.

It is what it is, pal.

Four years from now we'll come back,

gather our information

and go right back at 'em.

Even after all the mistakes

and all the corruption,

we still had about half a day there

when the entire state was counting.

Do you think

if W. had asked for a recount

the Supreme Court would have stopped it?

Good question.

Would you get this on board?

I'll be right back.

Mr. Secretary.

Good to see you, Mr. Klain.

So did the best man win then?

You bet.

Are you sure about that?

As sure as you are about your man.

I hope you're right, Mr. Secretary.

I do hope you're right.

You have a safe trip, Mr. Klain.

Thank you, sir.

Good evening, my fellow Americans.

I appreciate so very much

the opportunity

to speak with you tonight.

Tonight I want to thank

all the thousands of volunteers

and campaign workers

who worked so hard on my behalf.

Republicans want the best

for our nation, and so do democrats.

I was not elected to serve one party,

but to serve one nation.

The President of the United States

is the President

of every single American

of every race and every background.

Whether you voted for me or not,

I will do my best

to serve your interests

and I will work to earn your respect.

Just moments ago,

I spoke with George W. Bush

and congratulated him on becoming

the 43rd President of the U.S.

and I promised him

that I wouldn't call him back this time.

I know that many of my supporters

are disappointed. I am too.

But our disappointment

must be overcome by our love of country.

This is America,

and we put country before party.

We will stand together

behind our new president.

As for the battle that ends tonight,

I do believe, as my father once said,

that no matter how hard the loss,

defeat may serve as well as victory

to shake the soul and let the glory out.

- Thank you and good night.

- Thank you very much.

And God bless America.
