I do think that a lot of the reason why people came out and voted though for Bush was because of people like Michael Moore, the stuck-up hollywood crowd, elitist media who think that people who don't side with them politically are obviously morons and the intelligensia who think, as my mother would say, their **** doesn't stink. I found it interesting to see this thing on French news after the election about Bush - how he knows how to connect with people. It went on about how he is smart, that he went to Yale and got good grades, and then yet he likes the simple things in life and will put on the air of being a "hick" - but it's at everyones peril if they think he's dumb and that's what happened to Kerry and many people on the left - they tried to portray Bush as dumb - when he's far from it.

Sun-starr, That article is RIGHTEOUS AND RIGHT ON (spot-on for across the pond-ers). Did reading it remind you of my OK friend's note? Are you surprised that I have Scots-Irish heritage,also?
I'd fit in in NY like the mole on MISS Kitty's face, if you know what that means! And, I'm proud of it, too! But, when those Islamic terorrists hit the Twin Towers, by God, they hit Americans! They and I might not have agreed on much of anything, but we can agree on that much. The whining Democrats will eventually get over it, I hope. History and statistics show that everybody's lover, former Slick Willie Clinton (yes, Monica, he was President) did not do as well in surveys or polls as President Bush. But he got it for 8 years, as I recall. So did GW.

Here is the way NJ voted. I've marked where I live in yellow. The diagonal blue "line" going from the northeast to Trenton is known as the Rt 1 corridor - which I live in.
As you can see - NJ was by area a red state - but the large population centers voted democrat.

BTW - one of Bush's most hated cabinet members by the democrats has just resigned - John Ashcroft. I wonder who will take his place.

Now, my analysis is: The Democratic Party should not change to appease the religious fad that is currently seizing the mind of America. We must work to ensure that all votes are always counted. [EDIT: flame-bait removed- Eärniel] We want to make it the law of the land. We are the moral party. We oppose war. We oppose the continuation of the military-industrial complex. We protect the rights of minorities, even those who choose to be minorities. We already have the moral high ground. So my analysis is, we shouldn't change to "reach" out to the zealots on the right. We should hold our ground. We are right, and we shouldn't give up. I'm Pete, the sore loser, the whiner, the intolerant boor who dares to point at hypocrise and call it what it is!

People, azalea will not be pleased when she comes back and finds her thread deteriorating. I'll stress what azalea said:

If you want to post an analysis, fine; it's then anyone's right to respond to it, as was stated in the opening post, as long as it's done politely.

And actually - World News Tonight had on about the number of e-mails they had been getting complaining about cheating at the polls and stuff. Ohio was mentioned because of a website - the website has since taken it down because they were incorrect. Then the democrats were also complaining about florida - saying that there were more democrats registered in certain counties - but bush won. Yet - the thing is - Republicans have won those counties (in particual Lafayette) every election since George Bush '41.

oh and another thing Im enjoying is the massive gloat factor of republicans thumping their chest and struting and shouting ha ha we won OUR team is the best! while at the very same time saying see good values matter. oh dear sweet irony. But enjoy it I say. its your victory to savor. and if it all comes down to a brat with a big lolipop mentality for you then more power to you. youve only got four years to rub it in the faces of democrats right? after all thats what winning a presidential election is all about.... right....? So looks like the cabinet is crumbling. evans. rumsfield. tommy thompson. surely there will be some other names soon to follow. Do you anticipate the new cabinet going in an even more conservative direction then the past one since we are lead to assume the country is more conservative then ever? or will bush actually reach out to a wider circle of folk because he feels hes in better control of things politically and he doesnt need a bunch of people all of the same mindset as back up?
