Funny Edwards could not carry his state, but, still the democrats did play their hand correctly. Edwards, is not considered a southern democrat, thus he did not bring any new folks to the party.

I have a feeling the dems are smarting right about now.

Funny Weird Algore could not carry his own state either.

more history than that: The Republicans elected their first georgia gov. two years ago and the senate (with some party changing) went republican. This year the house and senate are decidedly republican for the first time in 150 years.

I just love the fact that there were 3 big name Democrats campaigning for Kerry and they couldn't even hand him one state.

I've heard that they didn't even win Edwards' home county, let alone the state, which is truly amazing.

The problem for the Democrats is that they honestly believe that they are viewed by the majority of the people in this country as being correct on the issues. It doesn't matter that they are losing increasingly large tracts of territory every election cycle to us. They simply refuse to acknowledge that they are wrong and that they need to do some serious re-evaluation of their positions. Their values and beliefs are out of touch with an enormous section of geographic middle of this country and the folks who live in those areas are beginning to become aware of this.

They came within less than 500,000 votes total (Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin) of losing the entire US except the Northeast and West Coast against a president who probably would have been quite vulnerable to a moderate. Their margins in many liberal strongholds declined from Gore's totals of 2000. That should be a big-time wakeup call, but apparently the blinders are on a little too tight. They seem content with the status quo of being rendered increasingly irrelevant by their own actions.

It's about time. We Southerners should have been electing Republicans for the last 25 years. The Democrats only care about gay marriage, high taxes, and denigrating Christians like me every chance they get. By 2006, I hope the only Dems in Dixieland are those with electorates much too stupid to understand that the GOP is the answer. The Dems are the problem, without a doubt.....

What happened to that dingbat McKinney? I heard she was so confident that she was already scoping out new office space in DC. But I haven't seen anything posted since the election.

The most telling defeat came in east-central Alabama, where freshman U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Anniston,

My rep's also Mike Rogers. Hopefully this one's also a good guy.

The Dems think that they are morally and intellectually superior. They think that if they lead, we will follow. They are trying to lead us into the Communists folds. Fortunately we are no longer following their lead. It does confuse them, that Americans aren't drinking the Kool-aid anymore.

If you recall, Kerry in the primaries even said that EDWARDS could not carry his own state. This was common knowledge, because Edwards, the moment he went to DC, forgot NC and started running for President. He did not run for re-election because he knew he could NOT win.
I do not think the dems thought they had a chance in the South. They pulled their ads in NC ...knowing it was a waste of cash.
They never expected to carry the South. No surprise.
