More like drama-queens! I have teenage girls and see it everyday.

It's all about "sending a message", and "I will not be ignored"! And the "punishment" of Bush. It gets the adreneline flowing, the fight, and feeling victimized by policies they disagree with.

Very emotional, impractical, and addicting.

After all, its is awfully boring to actually have to lead, make unpopular decisions, and literally have to please everyone around the globe. Kind of like being parents or a boss.

They DO want a Dem to win, therefore their punishment of Bush is complete.

But, in the end, they actually get nothing but a few weeks of stories on how they, little-ol-they, the vaunted base, got back at Bush!

And watching the swearing in of President Dean/Clark, they know the country is safe, for they still have their conservative principles in tact.

Great post! BINGO! You confirm the same anger and naivetee of the "Conservative[?]Bush-Bashers" with the "Dean Bush Bashers"! Waaaaaaaah!

If Bush wins big, I can see these two camps uniting...out of spite and selfishness.
