An entire city of people who overwhelmingly voted for Kerry, who can't think of anyone they know who voted for Bush...They are isolated. They don't debate issues with anyone or even encounter real people who hold views different from their own. Does she really think that the people of the heartland all live in isolation? How ignorant!

Lefties are Bubble People. They are in shock that Bush won, cause they don't know ANYONE who voted for him!
Is there any better evidence that to be a leftie, you have to be a braindead idiot?
It's more than just self-isolation from contact with the fly-over country Americans, it's an ingrained sense of intellectual superiority over what was once called "the rubes".
Their immediate problem is that the MSM is being replaced by other venues of news communication, and the "left wing viewpoint only" lock has been broken wide open. They haven't realized that to ever win future major elections, they will have to take into account the views of the depised middle Americans - and worst of all, the millions of Evangelical Christians they hate so much.
They can't have the Bolshevik take-over, ala 1918, of their dreams and that's what so many of their hard-core long for.
