A generation ago, the South represented just a fourth of the Electoral College votes. It's grown. Today it's almost a third. That transformation prompted the turncoat Democrat, Georgia Sen. Zell Miller....

Telling, isn't it, that she labeled Sen. Miller a turncoat?

The fact is that the voters did not buy the lies of the Dimwitocrats about the wrong direction, and demostrated that we want to continue in the direction that Bush wants and is taking us in!

[sirchtruth]

The Democrats just got it wrong.

...And will continue to as long as they look at middle Americans as "Dumb"

Oh, one huge issue I don't see mentioned enough is the absolute destruction of the MSM and the alternative sources that people can get there news.

American will no longer be dictated to by the elitist prix!!

That was a damn good article, and from a SF newspaper. Shocking.

Hopefully the base of the dems will forever be locked on Sept 10th 2001 because they will still think that political theory and strategy have not changed.

Those that slip through, I hope, are so disheartened by the insane,rabid left of their party that they will come to join us.

This was supposed to be the presidential election in which those hip souls who dwell in the cybersphere would revolutionize politics,

Oh, but they did. Only, it was the conservative side of the blogosphere. One word: Buckhead!

The young people did vote against the draft. They voted against the party that proposed it, not the party accused of planning it.

so many Americans disapproved of his performance, thought the country was headed in exactly the wrong direction, and knew they were worse off in almost every imaginable way than they were four years ago.

I am still waiting for some democrat to tell me how he suffered for 4 years under BUSH
Recession was overcome and they all got tax cuts
What the hell is their delusional problem

They must all think they are going to be dragged into church on Sunday and forced to pray

[uncbob]

And here is the democrats BIGGEST PROBLEM


They are prisoners of the Pro Abortion--Gun Grabbin--Homosexual Pushing--Tree Worshipping--Anti Religion --Anti Military-- America is The Cause of All the World Ills --wack jobs that are the basis of the VAST majority of their $$$$$$$$$$$

They say $$$$$ is the mother's milk of politics and the democrats ain't got no other teats to feast on

No way they can shake off that Tar Baby and survive financially

you might think this article was written by any number of Free Republic regulars. MiaT - Kattracks and others could have told these liberals in Calif or other places 2 weeks before the election that all their bases are ours. NIce job ground team.

An interesting, if not cynical, analysis. No matter how one slices it, it still comes across as sour grapes masquerading as wine.

Democrats remain rooted in the past and their "clock" absolutely stopped in 2000. This article only documents what didn't happen in this election - not what did.

Exit polling -- which we all now know is more useful for analyzing election trends than predicting winners -- ....

What the heck does that mean?!

The media went straight from "the exit polls are garbage" to "based on exit polls, Bush increased his margin among _______". No one has ever explained to us whether these "trend analyses" are based on exit polls which over-sampled Kerry supporters, thus understating Bush's "trends".

If anyone has read an explanation of this, please enlighten me!

This was supposed to be the presidential election in which those hip souls who dwell in the cybersphere would revolutionize politics . . .

That is EXACTLY what did happen, and the pajama-clad troops at Free Republic were in the vanguard!
