“I vote every year, so this was normal procedure. No, I was sure and
excited about the results.”
CHAD BAIRD, 28
Huntington Beach
“I have always voted, since I was 18. I don’t know if I was
surprised -- maybe disappointed, but not surprised.”
KELLY SCOTT, 23
Santa Ana
“Well, I am an American citizen, and I think it was our duty to
vote. [No surprises] whatsoever. I voted for Bush and he won. So, I
am very happy.”
BILL COOPER, 60
Newport Beach
“Every citizen needs to vote just to make a change in whatever you
believe in. Yes, I was thinking Kerry is going to win, but Bush came
through. Bush is who I voted for. From my friends’ perspective, it
was half and half.”
DAVID PAUL IONKA, 20
Newport Beach
“I am glad that George Bush won. I don’t think that I ever missed
an election. Since this was so much more important, I wanted to make
sure my vote counted ... all the propositions I voted for seemed to
go the way I voted.”
WILLIAM BENNETT, 86
Costa Mesa
“Everything was important to me, mainly the economy and the job
loss. There was a little bit of a surprise thinking Kerry might have
pulled it out, but apparently not.”
KEVIN JONES, 39
Costa Mesa
