(Bush) won in tiny towns where no one dreams of dining with Bush-hating billionaire George Soros, you don't need to borrow a gun to go goose hunting, and opposing gay marriage is seen as standing up for traditional values.

"Democrats get in trouble with candidates from the liberal elite, of noblesse oblige, who talk about, 'Oh gee, I'm going to help the poor people,' " Doak added.

Kerry's supposed concern for the poor would be a tad more convincing if he ever, ever considered the possibility of reaching into his own pocket to help!

Kerry might not be comfortable in a trailer park but he better get used to the dog house.

She (The Author Orin) was on Hardball and was right on from this moderate's point of view. Excellent piece.

"Most people in America don't windsurf and don't snowboard. Kerry's problem wasn't about his thoughts or issues as much as it was his inability to connect," said Democratic strategist David Doak.

Oh please.

The Dems didn't want to win this one, they put forth the biggest loser they could find. Hillary in 2008 is their goal, they don't want to do any work, but would prefer to squander the work of Republicans.

As he sees it, the Democratic Party is a mix of working people and often-wealthy liberals.

That's a pretty dated conception. The Democratic Party is a predator-parasite alliance. Working people are their targets. Working people, therefore, continue to flee the 'rats.

President Bush won the White House because he understands it's hip to be square.

If being morally and ethically decent is being square, count me in as a square peg. I've always been a square peg. Comes from a good upbringing in a household built on a foundation of strong and decent morals.

"We Democrats have got to find a way to reconnect with rural voters and more conservative voters."

Conservative voters? You guys are L-I-B-E-R-A-L-S!

"Most people in America don't windsurf and don't snowboard. Kerry's problem wasn't about his thoughts or issues as much as it was his inability to connect," said Democratic strategist David Doak.

The fact that he windsurfed and snowboarded was more comical than anything else. Kerry just looked like a horses ass doing it, and windsurfing and snowboarding had nothing to do with him losing like he did. Kerry lost because he didn't sell himself hard enough. He spent most of his time on the campaign trail painting a picture of doom and gloom and voters were left wondering "Huh?" and thinking what planet is Kerry on while touting a resume that spelled disaster for a country heaped in a war for survival.

Calling them idiots isn't going to win any converts.

bill clinton was more than just comfortable in trailer parks. he was "making himself at home"

you might say he brought a little trailer park everywhere he went, and still does.

we should all be grateful for clinton's appearances with kerry which imho cost many votes in the final few weeks.

thanks again prez bill,
papa joe

Kerry and the missus have dropped out of sight. Nobody seems to know where they've gone. Hmmm. A little wound licking going on and maybe some plate throwing? Lots and lots of booze and self pity. Wonder if Kerry's cell phone's been taken away from him.

Poor John Kerry. He needs comforting. We should all mail him a slice of hearty French cheese and a glass of fine French wine. May I recommend, for the former, a Machecoulais or Tomme de Savoie, or the deliciously gooey Epoisses de Bourgogne (it may be a bit smelly to mail but it's worth it). For the wine, a Doudet Naudin Meursault au Village is always welcome, or the elegant Poilly Fuisse. Please mark your package "This Side Up" so the glass doesn't spill.

All of these things are true, but I think you also have to give red state people credit for understanding the difference in the ideas of the two candidates. I think the latest spin is simply going to be that the red states didn't like Kerry's very unlikeable personality (heck, not even Dems liked the man very much), thereby glossing over the fact that they do indeed think we are doing the right thing in Iraq, they are satisfied with the economic direction of the country, and they like Bush's position on life issues.

I bet Barbara Mandrell is so proud. She started it years ago with, "I was country, when country wasn't cool...".

As for me, being a southern gal, I'd much rather have peanuts in my coke, than gin in my raisins!

G.W. Bush is 'in touch' with what's important to most Americans.
God
Family
Country
Constitution

As goofy as he was, Jimmy Carter ran as "one of us." He was a peanut farmer with Budweiser drinking brother. We can all get on that train. Kerry and "Jenjis Khan" was never going to be "one of us."
