the country is changing. the demographics are changing. the public schools are graduating more sheeple every year - into a higher education system that is dominated by liberalism. the popular media culture is liberal - and increasingly involves itself in politics. Look at the organized effort to use movies and concerts against Bush.

For all the talk about the "alternative media", we've got talk radio and web sites like this - but their reach is limited, and the audience draws from the same pool that is already on board. The one cable news channel our side had, is also drifting left.

Someone like Kerry should be 15-20 points down - he is a weak candidate, a weak man, from an ultra liberal state, trying to become president at a time when this nation faces its greatest peril, 3000+ dead in our own homeland.

And you mention 80/84/88. Recall in the restrospectives around the time of Reagan's death - his political and communications team was the best. Deaver said that Reagan knew his #1 job was to effectively communicate to the American people. How well would you rate Rove et al, against the Reagan team? Those wins in 80/84/88 are attributed to that team and to Reagan.
