A generation ago, the South represented just a fourth of the Electoral College votes. It's grown. Today it's almost a third. That transformation prompted the turncoat Democrat, Georgia Sen. Zell Miller....

Telling, isn't it, that she labeled Sen. Miller a turncoat?

The fact is that the voters did not buy the lies of the Dimwitocrats about the wrong direction, and demostrated that we want to continue in the direction that Bush wants and is taking us in!

It doesn't matter. Zell turned his coat on a socialist takeover.

This article is worth posting in the hallways of universities.

The Democrats just got it wrong.

...And will continue to as long as they look at middle Americans as "Dumb"

Oh, one huge issue I don't see mentioned enough is the absolute destruction of the MSM and the alternative sources that people can get there news.

American will no longer be dictated to by the elitist prix!!

That was a damn good article, and from a SF newspaper. Shocking.

Hopefully the base of the dems will forever be locked on Sept 10th 2001 because they will still think that political theory and strategy have not changed.

Those that slip through, I hope, are so disheartened by the insane,rabid left of their party that they will come to join us.

That's a reality the msm doesn't like to talk about.

Hopefully people who came out to vote in this election will not fall back into their old ways and neglect to vote. Maybe this election gave them the patriot bug and they see that their votes counts and is vital to America.

Yes. Their doctrine is stale and anti-American.

More and more people will see this.

Finding truth in the msm is shocking!

This was supposed to be the presidential election in which those hip souls who dwell in the cybersphere would revolutionize politics,

Oh, but they did. Only, it was the conservative side of the blogosphere. One word: Buckhead!

I heard a pollster on C-Span say that those who said the country was heading in the wrong direction actually voted for Bush. Normally we think of the "wrong direction" question as an indictment of the incumbent and, hence, a vote against him. In this case, as it turns out, voters who thought we are headed in the wrong direction believe the Dems are the cause and Bush can help solve the problem. Interesting

They will only face the problem when it's too late.

Why Dan Rather is still at CBS is the problem, and they are too arrogant to recognize it.

That right/wrong direction didnt make sense in some of the red states where Bush had a good approval rating (55% or higher) but right track/wrong track was about even. I think thats what Zogby did in respect to his polling thinking that the country would go solidy for Kerry. Cant believe anyone would subscribe to this guy anymore...

Kerry won 54 percent of young voters.

Not sure, but the 44% that went for Bush is much higher than in past years. Once they have been "mugged," more will turn conservative. Dems have lost a generation.

The right track/wrong track question is too simplistic and the Lefties interpreted it incorrectly. A large majority of people who think we ae on the wrong track want Mr. Bush to be TOUGHER and MORE CONSERVATIVE, rather than the reverse.

Perhaps we need a new Studs Terkel to go out and talk to Red America and maybe more important, LISTEN to them. We need an accurate compilation of what we really think.

I approve of the job Bush is doing, given what he has to work with - obstructionists like Daschle, etc. However, the country is going in the wrong direction because conservative principles have not been followed - prescription drugd, the farm bill, etc. I have a feeling I am not alone in that sentiment. And the MSM can't figure that out? Right.
