Not really---but I'm working on the Senate race of Jay Wolfe here in WV, and this state is still filled with thousands of conservative Democrats...so perhaps my view is being a bit skewed by that.

But I think my point is valid...that even many traditionally Dem voters across the country really deep down in their hearts know that their leaders can't be counted on to protect the country.

Because of 9-11, the anthrax attacks, and the fear of further attacks, national security issues are hitting closer to home than ever. When your home, your family and your own community might be in danger, that tends to focus people's attention a bit better.

Hey, the President's high approval ratings aren't just coming from Republicans you know...there are a whole bunch of Independents and Dems represented by those numbers. They are the people I'm talking about.
