Probably the 1st time a Wash. Post reporter has been to middle America.

Wonder if he understood that Red America IS the REAL America?

The reporter probe parachuted through the previously unexplored atmosphere and relayed data back to the mothership in Washington for an hour and a half.

It will take decades to analyze the treasure trove of data.

Somehow, I think the majority of America already KNOWS why George Bush won. :)

I'd rather drown in the Red Sea than swim in the blue.

I wonder if the reporter was required to go through a de-contamination process upon returning to the blue of WA DC?

Maybe he was just mentally evaluated to make sure that his mental conditioning was in tack.

I'll never forget one of my first visits to Washington DC and see that the leading TV stories were which congressional committees were meeting the next day and who was scheduled to testify. I said to myself that that kind of stuff wasn't what this country was about or what was truly significant and newsworthy anywhere but within the Beltway.

The same can be said about the gossip column in the NY Times and NY Post. Likewise, what is on sale at Macy's or the latest in fashion doesn't determine what is happening in this country.

In all fairness, having spent time in the red sea, I can also say that while extremely important to some starting the daily news with commodity futures prices on cattle, wheat and other products and following up with soil moisture contents and detailed weather forecasts, also is not what American is about.

American is about hard working people, the American dream of independence and the pursuit of happiness. Boy are we lucky and boy have our ancestors and those who live here before us worked hard so we could have these unique opportunities. That is what the Red Sea is about.

Want to know why George Bush won?

Like duh! He got three million more votes.

Counties where Kerry won more votes than President Bush are colored blue. The rest, the counties carried by Bush, are red.

What I would really like to know is how the "libs" and "lefties" managed to preempt the color "blue" to designate lib counties and states in presidential elections. The 92 election and before the colors were reversed and the libs were accurately depicted by the color "RED".
