Heartbreak (Election Results)

All I can think of is the title to that Saul Bellow novel, "More Die of Heartbreak." Here's a quote from a story in the New York Times about the way foreign governments were viewing the election that may sum things up (headline of the article was, strangely enough, "World Heads React Cautiously to U.S. Vote"):

Observers credited Bush's success to Americans' fears of more terrorist attacks and signs the economy may be improving -- but noted it was a very close race.

"It is an incumbent president in a situation where a great part of the nation experiences that it is in a war with terrorism and the economy is moving in the right direction," said Sweden's Prime Minister Goeran Persson. "These two issues together should have given Bush a clear victory. Despite this, it was very narrow. This shows that the U.S. is divided."
