Hint to the Tories: conservative voters don't vote for pussies.
"First, Mr Bush may not be intellectual, but he is not stupid. Second, the American people are not stupid, either: whether or not you agree with their choice, it is based on reasoned thought just as much as that of any electorate. Third, the campaign was not a battle between independent-minded, modern people and "the religious Right". Fourth, the Republican Party is properly organised, and it taps into a strong conservative culture."
The Tories have screwed themselves by being insufficiently opposed to the EU and opposing Blair on the Iraq War. This is a Kerry nuance approach on the former and a Pat Buchanan approach on the latter. Won't win a plurality, let alone a majority.

That could not have been said better.
I was thinking about this, how do so many women end up voting for pussies? It just seems to go against what a woman would naturally do.
That about sums it up. Thatcher won consistently because she was tough as nails. Major on the other hand was ineffectual and he lost.
